Brodhead Trap Club

I’ve usually only come here to ‘tune-​up’ my shooting before the start of hunting season. However, this trap club is part of the competition shooting association, the ATA (American Trapshooting Association). I’ve brought my son along in the past and he’s starting to shoot now, too. The owner, Len Janis, is a former world trap shooting champion and incredibly friendly and helpful.
This day, I had decided to only bring my 20 gauge, double barrel grouse gun. Bad choice. It was windy, and we were shooting into the wind. Short barrel, open chokes, shooting into the wind with light loads… not a good mix. Len cam eover and gave us some great pointers! We borrowed a 12 gauge competition gun and had a great time blasting boxes of shells and killing clay pigeons. Len was a GREAT help for my son, and actually sponsors a number of young shooters in the region. Can’t say enough about this shooting range… just a friendly place to hang out, spend some time outside, and visit with friendly people while shooting trap.
Cost? $ 5 per box of 25, bring your own shells. If you happen to be there while the assistants are there, don’t forget the tip!
