Construction Update – Building The New (Trap) House

construction of the new trap house

Only some skeet shooting at COSSC this morning, followed by preparations of the footings for our new trap house. Need to add a couple more logs then we’ll be ready for the floors. The way these boys work we could be shooting orange domes on the new field soon. In the meantime we are shooting trap and skeet, Saturday, Sunday at 10:00 am and now Tuesdays from 3:00 o’clock pm. Come on up and join us.

March 24 Trap/Meat Shoot

The rain held off, the sun came out and we had a great time shooting clays yesterday. New members were impressed with the friendly competition and just how much fun an Annie Oakley can be. As spring is here we will be shooting regularly on Saturday, Sunday and some Tuesdays. If you want more information on shooting times you can reach us here. If you are interested in starting to shoot and you need your P.A.L. you can find more information here.

The layout for our new trap field was completed this past weekend. We are ready for the next steps- compacting, framing and then pouring the concrete. Our current trap field as well as our skeet field is open and ready to shoot on Saturdays and Sundays. Shooting usually starts around 10:00 am.

Getting ready to start construction of our second trap field as soon as weather permits. We will also complete our second skeet field this summer. Currently we are open for both trap and skeet shooting at our first field. Shooting on weekends and will open more days once the weather improves. That’s Big White Ski Hill in the background.

Ready to start laying out new trap field. Thanks to Bob and Greg for getting it ready. We should be shooting trap here by summer. Members will be hard at work as soon as the weather allows. Last summer we were very productive in finishing up our first field. This summer we will complete a new trap field and a new skeet field giving us lots of room for new shooters and shooting competitions.

Trap Shooting Kelowna – Blasting The Entrance

Trap Shooting Kelowna – we found an excellent site close to Kelowna then started to build a proper access and prepare the trap and skeet fields. A tremendous amount of work was done by our members clearing the trees, blasting and building the road and doing the same for our fields to provide an exceptional layout for our shooters. By August of 2019 we will have 2 trap fields and 2 skeet fields.

Blasting the Trap Field

Once we had the road complete we needed to level the Trap Field.
