Someone has damaged our trap screens, as they were shot through with a slug or rifle while the screens were down. This caused damage to multiple screens. The screens are necessary for safety. Replacement of these screens will be expensive. If you see anyone shooting at the screens, please report it.

Also, please remember, the trap range facing the screens is for sanctioned trap shoots. Please us the old trap field close to the trap house if you are using your own equipment.
