Trap & Skeet Range

There are four fields on this range, numbered 1 through 4. Trap is available on all, with a Pat-Trap automated thrower in the trap house. Skeet is available on fields 2 and 3, with MEC throwers. Pat-Trap throwers are hydraulic and require time to warm up when it is cold. MEC throwers do not.

All fields are equipped with Long Range wireless releases for both trap and skeet. This system offers prepaid self-service trap and skeet shooting. Using this system requires additional training. Contact longrange@stoughtoncc.com and/or watch Club announcements for information.

Range Rules

  1. Read, understand, and follow all rules in “Fundamental Firearm & Range Rules.
  2. All trap and skeet fields are closed when the main clubhouse is reserved for other activities. Check the Club calendar on the web site for conflicts prior to arriving at the Club.
  3. Do not use fields where the “OUT OF SERVICE” magnet is on the door.
  4. Ensure that you are using the correct card reader for the field and thrower you wish to use.
  5. The Long Range system will time out after 15 minutes of inactivity (no throwing), at which time any remaining birds will be forfeited. Plan accordingly.
  6. Ensure that nobody is present in the trap houses before you shoot. An orange safety cone on the top of the trap house means someone is there.
  7. Only shotguns are permitted on the trap & skeet ranges. No other firearms or bows are permitted without prior authorization from the Board.
  8. Only 2 ¾” shells with 7 ½ or smaller lead shot (i.e. higher number) are allowed. Use lead shot only.
  9. Shotguns may be stored uncased on gun racks between rounds, unloaded and actions open.
    Break-action shotguns may have their actions closed in the rack.
  10. All firearms must have their actions open until reaching the firing line or shooting station.
    Actions must remain open until ready to shoot, and when moving between stations.
