Trap leagues, fees and range rules.

Trap Leagues

Spring, summer and fall leagues run each year, with work days and a league dinner. Shoot from 9 am to 12 pm, eat at noon. League dates are posted at the club and on the events calendar.

League fees are $80.00 for members and $85.00 for non-members. Youth 18 and younger are $45.00. All fees are to be paid by the second week of shooting; a $10.00 penalty applies if late.
