Skeet Range

Our Skeet Range is sure to test the skills of even the most experienced shooters. Skeet shooting was invented by an avid grouse hunter to simulate the conditions of hunting game birds; with CCR's ever popular grouse population, it's easy to see why this range is popular.

Skeet shooting is both a recreational and competitive shotgun activity here at the Ranch, where Members attempt to break clay disks mechanically flung into the air from two fixed stations at high rates of speed. The Skeet range has a High House on the left and a Low House on the right, each housing a trap machine where targets are launched from the two "houses" in somewhat "sideways" paths from a variety of angles that intersect in front of the shooter. Skeet shooting is meant to simulate the action of bird hunting, whereas the shooter shoots from eight positions located on a semicircle radius, where clay disks are launched in both single and double target patterns… sound confusing? No worries, our skilled and expert volunteers will walk you through each step of the way.

Assistants are on call as SHOTGUN pullers (trap and skeet).  Members simply call the Ranch House to make arrangements.  

There are 8 stations to shoot from. At stations 1 and 2 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house, then shoots a double where the two targets are launched simultaneously but shooting the high house target first. At stations 3, 4, and 5 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house. At stations 6 and 7 the shooter shoots at single targets launched from the high house and then the low house, then shoots a double, shooting the low house target first then the high house target. At station 8 the shooter shoots one high target and one low target. The shooter must then re-shoot his first missed target or, if no targets are missed, must shoot his 25th shell at the low house station 8.
