Fall Leagues and Activities at Stoughton Conservation Club
Fall is almost here, but you don’t have to wait until September 22 to join one of our Fall leagues.
Fall Shotgun League
Fall Shotgun League, (AKA: Fall Trap League) starts Thursday, September 5th and runs from 6:00 until around 8:00 or so. We go week to week once the weather starts getting colder. As sunset starts getting earlier we will turn the lights on.
This is an informal league, so SCC members can just show up and shoot. There is no advance sign-up needed. You will use your own Long Range Card to shoot. Don’t have a Long Range Card yet? You can get one September 4th (see below).
During the Fall league you can shoot whatever you like each week, with both trap and skeet available. Usually there is a group that will shoot together and it varies what we might shoot each week. Some different options are available:
- Trap
- Skeet
- Wobble Trap
- Doubles Trap
Fall league is great way to learn how to shoot trap or skeet if you’ve never done it before.
Centerfire Pistol League
Our Centerfire Pistol League starts on Thursday, September 5th with the informational meeting and practice night. The meeting will start around 6:30.
League shooting starts September 7th and runs each Thursday for 10 weeks until November 14th.
The League Banquet and Fun Night is November 21st.
This is a Bullseye pistol league. You’ll shoot 30 rounds per night, 10 rounds slow fire, 10 rounds of timed fire, and 10 of rapid fire. Scores are kept for friendly competition. All skill levels are welcome. Any centerfire pistol .32 caliber and up is allowed provided it meets the requirements for our indoor pistol range.
If you’ve never shot in the league before please try to make it to the meeting on September 5th.
Blacksheep Pistol League
The Blacksheep League shoots on Wednesday nights starting on September 4th. They shoot each Wednesday until December 11.
This is a less formal league where you only compete against yourself. Any pistol type is allowed; air, .22, centerfire, etc. as long as it meets the requirements for the indoor pistol range.

There are two options:
Wednesday, September 4
Feel free to bring your shotgun to shoot after the orientation. Dan Ripp will be available to give pointers and make sure you understand how to shoot trap and/or skeet.
