Location details and information
South Carolina hosts a thriving community of trap and skeet shooting clubs. The SC Trapshooters Association connects shooters across the state to quality ranges and welcoming shooting communities.
Unlike other sports, trap shooting doesn't require you to lift, bend, twist, run, or jump. No need to break a sweat. What it does require is patience, practice, and concentration. And when you break that clay target into smithereens? That's the payoff. Everyone is a new shooter at some point—even experienced shooters remember when hitting those orange discs wasn't easy.

"It's part of the attraction. Just keep coming back; eventually you'll break that piece of clay into smithereens, and do it with a smile."
