Trap

The Ikes trap range consists of six trap houses equipped with automatic trap machines. The trap house closest to the road is the designated Self-Use Trap. Look at the Self-Use Trap page for information on this program. The Ikes sponsor a Summer Trap League, a Fall Trap League, and a Summer Youth Trap League. In addition to this; five of the local high schools use the facility for practice from mid February thru April. Typically about 200 high school shooters practice on our range. The Ikes typically sponsor two area high school trap shoots with more than 300 participants in late March and April.
