The Shotgun Range includes one International Bunker Trap field for international single and double-trap events. Up to 7.5 shot ammunition may be used on this range – no buckshot or slugs. The Club provides clay targets for members and guests at $5.00 a round. 

Most club members probably have never used the International Bunker Trap; maybe other members have never heard about it at all. There are two primary differences between Bunker Trap and American Trap. The first is that an Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) clay target flies at 45 mph; however, an International Bunker Trap clay target flies at 68 mph. The Bunker's extra target speed requires a shooter to have faster reaction times. The second difference is that Bunker Trap targets fly at wider angles than American Trap, up to 45 degrees, and may also be thrown higher or lower. Each shooter gets the same targets during a round of 25, but a shooter does not know for sure in what sequence the targets will be thrown.

Do not worry if you have never done it before. We will provide you an orientation of the Bunker Trap Range so you can feel comfortable and have fun while experiencing the challenge for yourself.  Also, the shooting stands are under cover. This is an added bonus this time of the year providing shooters an opportunity to minimize direct sun exposure while at the range during the heat of the summer. 

It is recommended that a shooter have a twelve (12) gauge shotgun with 28-inch barrels or longer, with modified or full chokes. This will increase your ability to hit the targets.
