Bend Trap Club traces its roots back to 1913 when the Bend Gun Club first supported Oregon's state trap shoot. What started as a small group of hunters and shooters has evolved into Central Oregon's dedicated shotgun sports facility. The club operated for decades in the Pilot Butte area before relocating to the legendary Brosterhous site in the 1930s—a facility so well-built it was proclaimed one of the west's best shooting locations by 1938.
After the original site was developed into residential homes in 2006, the club relocated to its current 280-acre facility near Millican, about 28 miles east of Bend on Highway 20. The first registered shoot at the new location was held in July 2008.
