Welcome to the Trap and Skeet Facilities at the United Sportsmen’s Club!
For those seeking to sharpen their shot-gunning skills or to just mingle with other shooters the trap and skeet facilities offer you a fine opportunity. The trap and skeet shooting facilities consist of two lighted trap and skeet fields and one non-lighted trap range. We have just added a new shot gunning experience – it’s called wobble skeet. WOW! Response has been almost overwhelming. The difference between wobble skeet and normal skeet is the targets from both the high house and the low house are oscillating up and down so that the shooter can’t anticipate the height of flight path. It is a real challenge for even the most experienced shooters. To add to the excitement, we have added a wobble trap machine which also oscillates up and down as well as side to side.
The trap and skeet club house has shotgun reloading supplies and ammunition available for sale. The range is run by volunteer members of the Trap and Skeet Committee and the normal hours of operation are 09:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday and Wednesday. The range will remain open year-round except during inclement weather. The range may remain open past normal hours to accommodate all shooters present. Special events such as leagues or fun shoots may be scheduled and will be listed on the club calendar.
Shooting fees and prices for reloading supplies vary from month to month and current prices are posted in the clubhouse.
Trap & Skeet
A shotgun patterning board is available for use at any time and is located directly east of the #3 trap field (far right). This area can also be used for hand thrown targets. Hand thrown targets or mechanically thrown targets are not permitted on the trap and skeet fields. Shot size is restricted on all fields to #7 ½ shot, or smaller (e.g. #8 or #9), with a limit of three dram-equivalent loads.
Scheduled Events:
- A Shotgun Derby consists of two person teams drawn at random with prize money for first, second and third place. Sign-up is not required. However, pre-shoot registration must be completed by 5:45 pm, followed by team drawings. Shooting begins promptly at 6:00 pm. There are no gauge restrictions. A handicap system based on the average of your previous (five) rounds will be established to encourage competition.
- The Skeet Derby is typically held every Monday evening. Trap Derbys will be held randomly based on interest, Check postings in the clubhouse for schedule updates. Shotgun Derby’s are open to all members and their invited guests, both experienced and non-experienced
