Self Use Trap
The number one trap house, the first trap house as you enter the Izaak Walton grounds houses the Self Use Trap. Lincoln Ikes members can buy a Self Use Trap card and this allows the cardholder, his family, and guests to come out and use the trap. Ikes member buying a Self Use Trap card for the first time must be oriented on the safe use of the trap before a card will be issued.
The number one trap is the only trap available for the cardholder’s use. The trap is open for use by the cardholder’s whenever the club is not using the trap. The club uses this trap on league nights and other club functions. The trap range is equipped with lights and is available for use until 10:00 PM. Complete rules and the definition of guests and family members is explained in Self Use Trap Safety and Operating Instructions file and the Self Use Trap Rules and Regulations file on this web site.
The Ikes stress proper and safe gun handling and keeping the action open and empty until the shooter is in position to shoot. With the gun pointed down range one shell is dropped into the chamber. The chamber is closed, the gun is brought to the shoulder and after the gun is fired the gun is again safe. At no time should the magazine of repeating shotguns or auto-loading shotguns be loaded. We do not have the capability to throw more than one rock so at no time is it necessary to put more than one shell into the gun.
