Overview
Location details and information
Rapid City Trap Club is a member-owned, volunteer-operated 501(c)(4) non-profit built around three disciplines: American Trap, skeet, and sporting clays. They've invested in their facilities and equipment to handle shooters of all skill levels, from casual visitors to competitive league members.
- •Trap is their main draw. Nine fields equipped with voice pulls ensure consistency and minimal wait times. The club replaces their oldest machines every few years to keep everything reliable.
- •Skeet runs on 2 fields—one standard American Skeet setup, the other capable of wobble skeet targets. They're actively building competitive league programming in addition to recreational shooting.
- •Sporting Clays uses their 5 Stand field overlaid on Skeet Field #2. Recent grant funding brought in 8 new battery-powered, wireless throwers, giving them flexibility to set up American Field Sporting, Super Sporting, and FITASC layouts beyond traditional 5 Stand.
The clubhouse is 2,300 sq ft, built in 2019, and fully accessible. It includes meeting space, restrooms, office/sales area, kitchen, and a shaded viewing porch. Parking lots front east and west, newly graded to handle the 150–200 person crowds that show up for major shoots.
