2011-2012 Trap Project
Our
club's project to rebuild our dilapidated trap house began
in
2011. Over the years, the club's shotgun emphasis
had faded and
we neglected our facilities. After a vote to improve
the range to
enable trap shooting, we applied for and received a national grant
from the NRA, made possible because we're a NRA Gold Medal Club. The grant helped defray the cost of the project.
Members provided labor to clear trees and undergrowth that had encroached over the years. The club provided materials for renovating the existing trap house and bought and installed a new solar-powered self-loading trap.
The project is complete except for some landscaping to improve access to the trap house. This will be included in the annual range cleanup day when we open the range in April.
In addition to benefiting the club members with new facilities, shooters from the Humboldt County 4-H shooting sports shotgun program and the Humboldt High School trap team will have improved opportunities for practice. This will enhance our club's community presence and add shotgun shooters to our membership roles.
