Hallstead Great Bend Rod and Gun Association – Trap Program
Open Trap Shooting
Open trap shooting is every Wednesday from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm (last entries by 7:00 pm) year-round - rain, snow, or shine. Open trap shooting is open to the public; non-club members welcome to join in on the fun! Come shoot under the lights during fall and winter months! We shoot singles targets, handicap targets, wobble targets, and doubles targets. Cost is $6.00 per round of 25 targets. Bring your own shotgun and shells. Contact Brian at (570) 780-7790 for further details or questions.
We are happy to have youth shooters (with parent supervision) and shooters of all skill levels attend our trap shooting events. We are glad to provide minor instruction to beginner trap shooters. Local High School Trap Teams often join us on Wednesday Nights in the spring.
Hallstead Great Bend Rod and Gun Association has two fully certified ATA Trap Fields. White Flyer Orange Top pitch targets are thrown at all our events, from new Pat Traps and new Canterbury Voice Release Systems both purchased in 2025. Our right trap field is illuminated with four 500-Watt 70,000 Lumen LED Stadium Lights for nighttime shooting! Wi-Fi cameras have been installed in our trap houses. With our “Trap Cams”, our trap staff keeps an eye on the traps for malfunctions and ensures we don’t run out of targets mid round!
