Trap & Skeet

Open Sunday's from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Occasionally, the clay target venues might be closed on a Sunday for unanticipated reasons. For instance, we were closed two days in 2007 because of storm related power failures. We were also closed two days because the snow was so bad, we could not get the plow to the clubhouse. If you have any question whether or not the club is open for shooting, we suggest you call to confirm the club is open before making the drive.

We need front desk volunteers, some Sundays have no front desk coverage. If we do not have volunteers signed up then we will not open on Sundays when there is no front desk coverage. If you want to shoot please sign up to man the front desk. I will not continue to man the front desk when individuals that are signed up do not show up or do not have the courtesy to call and say they cannot make it on such and such a date. We have a large number of shooters and the numbers are growing. New members / new shooters --Please sign up to take a few Sundays on the front desk or five stand this year and next. Sign up in the book in the clubhouse.

The phone number for the clubhouse is 440-474-4201.
Note: the phone will only be answered on Sunday, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Or when the Trap & Skeet Fields are open.

5-Stand

5-Stand is a variation of Sporting Clays shooting. Each round consists of 25 targets being shot from 5 different shooting stations. We have seven traps to throw a variety of different types of target presentations.

5 stand is CLOSED for the winter.
We need more volunteers to assist with running the 5 stand. Please volunteer!


Sign up in the book in clubhouse or call Bill or Jim. If we do not have volunteers we will not open the 5 stand.

The phone number for the clubhouse is 440-474-4201.
Note: the phone will only be answered on Sunday, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Or when the Trap & Skeet Fields are open.

5-Stand and Trap & Skeet Duty Rosters

We need volunteers and shooters!

This is a good way to earn your work hour credits!
(if you volunteer to run the 5-Stand)

Please sign up to work one or two Sundays. Sign up sheets are on the desk in the main clubhouse. If you are an old or new member an would like to volunteer, but do not feel qualified to open and run the 5-Stand, we will provide training.

Concealed Handgun License Class 

Now taking reservations for the next class tentatively scheduled for Spring 2012. I will set a date when I have 10 or more students interested in taking a class. Let me know via phone or email (preferred because I then have a record of your interest) if you would like to take the class.

If you really need to take the class during the week, we could consider running a class on Monday through Thursday nights, 3 hours (6-9PM) per evening. We would need at least 15 students committed to an evening class to give it a try.
