  • Top five scorers win a frozen turkey (alternate prizes available too)
  • Additional prizes for hitting a white clay bird, inserted at random

As always, bring your own shells (lead or steel), which you’ll need two boxes, one for each round, (50 rounds total) of #7-1/2, #8, or #9 shot. You can use any shotgun, as long as it has a stock and barrel length of 18 inches or longer. All members are welcome but if you haven’t shot trap before, please join us for a practice round prior to the day of the match.

No regular trap held on this day–match only.
