ATA Trap

Details

Trapshooting is a shotgun shooting sport where a clay target is release from a trap house and that target flies away from the shooter. The typical trap target in practice is a single target, shot using a single shotgun shell. Up to 5 shooters may shoot in any round of Trap; the first shooter always leads each round of 5 targets.

Rules

The trap fields are open for practice typically on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons starting at 1pm and closing at dark. GGC reserves the right to close earlier depending on attendance.

Practice availability is impacted when Trap holds registered tournaments. Effectively, all fields are closed to practice when Trap holds their monthly ATA tournament. Please review the Events calendar to determine when those tournaments are held so you are not disappointed when coming to the ranges for practice.

Monthly, from September to April, the Greenville Gun Club hosts a 1 day registered ATA tournament shoot on the 2nd Saturday of the month. This shoot is open to any ATA registered individual – whether GGC member or not. You can join the ATA during the first shooting competition at the club. Registered ATA shoots typically consist of 100 Singles, 100 Handicap, and 50 pair of Doubles. The ATA Trap program is subject to change and is controlled by the Director of Trap. Please consult this Director and/or get on his email list for the Trap program by sending an email to trap@gvlgunclub.com. Tournament fees, prizes, and other rules are stated on his program.

Cost

The Greenville Gun Club uses a token system. Tokens may be purchased in the clubhouse for $2.50 / round in increments of $5, $10, and $20 purchases. Tokens may be redeemed by dropping them into to coin box posted at each trap field. Each token provides 25 targets and 1 target as a "see-one" for the first shooter. Additional extra targets are also provided in case a target may break when leaving the trap house. Please do not shoot extra targets at the end of the round; as unused extra rounds help offset the times where we have breakage.
