Open all winter for Kelowna Trap and Skeet shooters

It all started in April with some significant blasting on site to prepare for out new Skeet field.

This summer we completed a new skeet field as well as another trap field. Now we’re just tidying up a few items before winter comes.

We will be open all winter for Kelowna skeet and trap shooters on Saturdays and Sundays starting at 10:00 am. When it’s cloudy and dull in the valley, quite often you can come up to the club and find yourself above the clouds on a beautiful bright day, great for seeing targets!

New Skeet Field For Kelowna Shooters

Bob, Greg, Yvonne and Steve were the first to try out the new set up on our second skeet field. More info on our Grand Opening to follow. Both fields will be well used with 3 major tournaments scheduled for next summer. The high house and low house are completed and the new skeet launchers are in place. Time now for some painting and prettying up the place a little.

Thanks to all the members/volunteers and whose efforts and financial contributions made this field a reality. Special thanks for Bob Larue for purchasing the launchers.

Greg instructing his daughter who has never shot before. Maddisen is right handed and left eye dominant so Greg taught her left. She nailed the first target and both are pleased with the result.

Progress On Second Trap Field

Lots of work is being done on our second trap field. Pat, Steve and Pete completed the siding installation and all we need now is the roof and installation of the launcher. Paulo and Paulo filled between the walkways with crush and the team is now preparing the area around the walkways and finishing the parking area.
