- •Trap (7 fields): American Trap governed by the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA). Targets thrown by Pat Trap machines with Canterbury Voice release systems. Three categories—singles, doubles, and handicap. A round of 25 targets takes about 10 minutes. $6–$9 per round depending on membership status.
- •Skeet (2 fields): National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA) standards. One field has voice release system. Shooters cycle through eight stations. Rounds take about 20 minutes. Same pricing: $6–$9 per round.
- •5-Stand: Combines trap, skeet, and sporting clays elements. Shooters rotate through five stations with varied target presentations. About 20 minutes per round. $7–$9 per round.
- •Wobble: Pat Trap machines that oscillate both side-to-side and up-and-down for unpredictable target flight paths. Two fields available. More challenging than standard trap and better preparation for bird hunting. $7–$9 per round.
- •Rifle & Pistol Range: Covered facility with target lines at 100, 200, and 340 yards. Requires $75 annual membership plus $15 daily fee.
First-time shooters: You shoot at member prices ($6–$7 per round) your first day, even without membership.
The 2,400-square-foot clubhouse includes restrooms, kitchen, dining and lounge areas, and a big-screen TV. The pro shop stocks shotgun shells, reloading supplies, targets, cleaning supplies, and accessories. Eye and ear protection available on-site.
40 RV campsites with water and electricity. The club hosts meetings and shooting events with catering available if arranged in advance.
Shotguns available for $10 per day: Browning, Remington, and Winchester models. Free introductory lessons for first-timers. Custom lessons by appointment.
No age minimum—kids can shoot with a seasoned shooter supervising. Any shotgun type welcome: auto loaders, over-and-unders, pumps, field guns, custom builds.
Dixie Trap & Gun is the home club for the annual Alabama State Trapshooting Championships. The 2015 ASTA Championships were featured on the daytime TV show Absolutely Alabama with Fred Hunter.
