Missouri Trap Shooters Association

Missouri Trapshooters Association operates from Linn Creek, Missouri—4 miles east of Camdenton on Highway 54, then 6 miles east on Highway A. This isn't a small range. The facility has 60 traps and sits in the heart of the Lake of the Ozarks region, one of America's top vacation destinations.

The Missouri Trapshooters Association dates back to the turn of the century, originally called The Federation of Missouri Trapshooters. This is serious infrastructure with serious history.
