How the Game is Played:
There are 5 stations to shoot from. You shoot 5 targets per station in singles and handicap and 10 targets per station for doubles. The shooters are standing at the 16 yard line and will be moved back in handicap along the walkway behind shooters all the way back to the 27 yard line, depending on the shooters ability. The target is released on the command of "pull" from the shooter and will travel at various angles for about 48 to 52 yard shots at about 50 to 60 mph. The shooter must break the targets before it hits the ground. You are allowed only one shot in singles and handicaps and of course, two shots in doubles.
The Range is reserved at times for monthly shotgun shoots, and at times for special event. Please check Schedule of Events.
