Shotgun Chair: Cam Rogers (shotgun@ncrgc.org)
The Northern Colorado Rod & Gun Club (NCRGC) has one Skeet field, one Trap field and an area designated for use by NCRGC members and their guests where they can throw clay targets using their own thrower or the fixed manual thrower.
There is a bin containing clay targets in the manual throwing area and the clay targets in the bin can be used, when available.
The manual throwing area cannot be used while:
- Skeet or Trap events are in progress.
- Tactical Bays, are in use (with the exception of Tactical Bays 1 and 2).
- 3D Archery field is in use.
Unbroken clays must be collected after you are done shooting. Unbroken clays should be saved or, if club provided clays are being used, returned to the clay target bin.
Scheduled NCRGC events will always take precedence and determine the shotgun fields’ availability. Be sure to check the NCRGC calendar before your visit to the range to that there are no surprises when you arrive.
