Trap Shooting for Beginners and Experts Skill Levels
MRC Sportsman’s Club offers trap for those of you that are trap enthusiasts. Our trap field is located outdoors in back of the clubhouse. In trap shooting clay pigeons are launched from a single machine away from the shooter. It requires skill to accurately break the 108 mm disc simulating the path of a bird. The shooter calls “pull” to release the trap. The target is considered hit or dead if any part of the clay is chipped. Trap is a popular activity for all skill level and age level of shooters.
A new additional trap field will be installed at MRC Sportman’s Club in the Spring of 2018. More details to come when complete.
