• Registration MUST be completed by September 11 and if joining the USA Trap Team League a $40 fee is required.
• Season will start Monday, September 15 at the East Range Sportsman’s and Conservation Club in Aurora, MN at which time team fees will be collected for the season. Season will be complete after 6 weeks – Oct. 20.
• There is limited space as we cap the League Team at 25 and Beginners at 5. This is due to coaching limits by the League.
• As always, we shoot Monday afternoons at 4 PM till everyone has completed two rounds of 25 targets. This is a team sport and everyone is expected to stay until cleanup and equipment is put away.
• The fee for shooting this year is $162 for the League and Beginner $162. The fee helps pay for shells and clay targets.
• There is a limited number of shotguns available but your own is preferred. A 12 or 20 gauge with a modified choke, and depending on student, shooting 50 shells a night makes an autoloader preferable. Must be able to mount shotgun to shoulder without straining.
• Must be student at one of these schools, as league requires it.
