Lightning Damage affects Trap and Skeet

Update 8/25:

All card readers and all fields are working.

Long Range Card Reader Status:

Trap 1: Working

Trap 2: Working

Skeet 2: Working

Trap 3: Working

Trap 4: Working

Update 8/11:

Trap 1 is fixed, but there may be an issue on the low house on skeet 2. The Long Range committee will investigate.

Update 8/1:

We were able to repair the card readers on Trap 3 and 4.

Update 7/30:

The damage to the Long Range card readers is worse than we originally thought. We were able to repair the Trap card reader on field 2 using spare parts. All other trap fields and skeet on field 2 is down until further notice.

Monday Morning Trap/Skeet:

You will be able to shoot trap on field 2 using your Long Range cards. Skeet can be shot on field 3, but please pay cash for rounds.

UPDATE 7/27:

All trap fields are out of service. The damage may be worse than we thought. The Long Range committee will be working on that this weekend.

The electrician was able to get the lights working on field 4 with a temporary fix while we wait for parts. 

Attention Trap shooters!

Trap on fields 3 and 4 is down until further notice. The Long Range card reader power supplies were damaged by a lightning strike today (Wednesday, July 26).

The readers on fields 1 and 2 were also affected, but the Long Range committee was able to scrounge some temporary parts to get those readers running again. They should be able to get the readers on 3 and 4 fixed by next week.

Trap League

We will be able to shoot on fields 3 and 4!

However, the lights on field 4 were also damaged. We will be calling an electrician Thursday morning, but the lights might not be repaired before League on Thursday. This will mostly affect teams 10 and 14 (maybe team 2) who shoot on field 4 after dark.

We’ll post an update on the lights for Trap League once we have an ETA.

2023 Summer Trap League Schedule and Updates

2023 Summer Trap League Schedule and Updates

 

The 2023 summer trap league season kicks off on Thursday. Hopefully you all got lots of practice in and are ready for the season!

If you haven’t paid for the season, you need to pay before you shoot on Thursday. The fee for the league is $125 per adult or $100 for youth shooters (haven’t graduated high school yet). There will be someone from the committee taking payments and marking you off as paid in the bar area.

If you’re not a member or your membership has lapsed, please pay your dues before Thursday. We will be verifying membership status.

Take a look at the 2023 Trap League Rules.

One key change is the 25 minute time limit. Please start on time and finish in 25 minutes. That will leave enough time to fill the trap house and get the next team shooting on time. We must have the lights turned off at 10:00 PM, so we’re depending on all of you to keep it moving.

You can view the full schedule below or here: 2023 Trap League Schedule

See you Thursday!

Let’s break some clay!
