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 the Promatic card system to purchase rounds of Trap, Skeet and 5 Stand. Cards may be purchased at the dispenser inside the clubhouse in $20.00 increments. The current price is 6 rounds for $20.00. This equals to 150 targets. Extra targets are on the machine to allow for broken targets and should be only used for that purpose. If you are not familiar with the Promatic system, ask someone who is or contact Club Staff.Schedule
