We have a 2 house trap range, and run 2 leagues over the summer.  The first is a 2 man trap league, typically in April, May and June.  After that is complete, the 4 man league runs in July, August and September.  Cash prizes are awarded in multiple divisions.  Divisions are determined from highest scores to lowest scores from previous seasons shot, and revised for new teams based on the results of the first 4 weeks of shooting.  A league fee of $47 per shooter is due the first night, $20 of that goes to the prize money (100% payback, equal in all divisions), $5 goes to the scorekeepers, and $22 goes to offset the cost of the clay targets.  The cost of shooting is $10 per shooter per night.  YOU CAN CHOOSE TO PAY THE ENTIRE COST OF THE LEAGUE THE FIRST NIGHT, WHICH IS $137 ($47 + $90).  This eliminates the need to pay the $10 every night.  You must be a member of the rod and gun to participate.  All leagues shoot on Tuesdays, you must sign up for your start time when you arrive every Tuesday, you may begin to sign up any time after 2 pm, but you MUST be signed up by 8 pm or you will not be allowed to shoot.  You must be present on the club grounds to be signed up, a team member may not sign you up if you are not there yet.  If you can not register your team or shoot the first night of league, you may sign up the second week and shoot a double round. This is the ONLY time you can make up a night of shooting.  You can not shoot ahead or make up a missed night, because the scores each week determine the handicap for the following week.  If you can not shoot, you must have a sub shoot for you any time after the second week.  Anyone may sub for you, or your partner may shoot twice.  If you do not get a sub, your score for that night will be 1/2 of your league average at that point.  You do not need to shoot at the same time as your team members, you may shoot at a time convenient to you.  Food and beverages are served each league night.  As always, a club membership is required to participate.

High School Clay Target League
 
Due to the Covid pandemic, at this time, the schools have not yet decided if the high school trap league will occur again this year.  This decision will be made by the individual school districts, hopefully shortly after the first of the year.  If you are unfamiliar with this league, please read the following;
In 2015, CRGC was asked if we would allow the use of our facility and provide coaches and range safety officers for a Central-Logan team. Realizing this would be a great way to bring young people to the club and introduce them to the sport of trap shooting, we agreed. First, we had to overcome some obstacles; volunteer coaches needed training and range safety officers to be found, trained and certified , come up with ideas on how to fund the program, recruit team members and complete all paperwork required by the Clay Target League.
Chaseburg Rod and Gun Club (CRGC) became the home to two high school trap shooting teams - Central-Logan co-op team and Aquinas. Our facility has also been available for other area teams to practice on if the need arises.  The season usually begins in late March and runs through May. In the past, the Central-Logan co-op team meets on Mondays starting at 5:00 p.m. and the Aquinas team meets on Wednesdays at 5:00 p.m. Any student, including middle school students, who attend these schools are allowed to join, with parent/guardian approval and a hunter's safety certificate.
Many parents, grandparents and others have come to watch the shooter's progress, and to see what the program is all about.  Many had never been to the CRGC and came away very impressed with the facility and the high school program.  This is reflected in the phenomenal growth of the sport, not only in this area but throughout the state of Wisconsin.  Annual participation increases of 25% or more each year has been common.  At the end of the season, there is a State Championship event for teams and individuals.  Many of our local shooters and teams have participated in this event, and have done exceptionally well.
As in all high school sports, team funding is a primary need. In recent years, the total cost per shooter has been approximately $330, this includes the cost of shells, targets and uniforms. The cost charged to each team member is $135 for approximately 12 weeks of shooting. The difference is made up by individual and team fundraising. The team uniform consists of a quality jersey with the school's logo and other graphics on the front and the shooter's last name and all of the sponsor's names or logos on the back. The program charges $200.00 for a one year sponsorship spot on the jersey. We have a number of sponsors who have stepped up each year but of course the teams could always use more sponsors.  Because the season was cancelled last year, sponsors who donated last year will be carried over to this year.  We will provide more details on sponsorships for this year after the school districts make their decision about the league.
