Olympic trapshooting is a specialized sport but draws from a wide range of athletes, seeking a challenging, yet social sport. It is often compared to as "golf with guns".
Recreational shooters - from youth to senior, enjoying a fast paced game, outdoors.
Competitive shooters - intense training, travelling the world, Olympic bound
Sport for Life - a top choice for aging, active adults transitioning to a gentler sport.
We are a welcoming, diverse group, from all ages and cultural backgrounds. On any given day, you might be able to converse in 10 or more languages.
We've hosted corporate events, bridal parties and senior ladies groups looking for some adventure, in a safe but exhilarating environment.
You'd be surprised at the number of people with the hidden talent to compete in this sport. But you will never know, until you've given it a try.
