Field instruction may be on a trap or skeet field or both. Younger shooters will use extra-light loads or feather-light loads to reduce recoil. A responsible adult must accompany youths.

Field exercises will vary with age, size and experience of the shooters. Each shooter will have the opportunity to shoot up to 50 targets. Young shooters will begin with straightaway targets. At trap, shooting may be from a position forward of the normal singles/16 yard line. Various types of shotguns are available for loan at the Range Office.

Cost - Adult participants pay a $15.00 fee that includes instruction and 1 round of 25 targets. Youths under 18 years pay $10.00. The regular day-use fee is waived for this activity. Fees are to be paid in advance at the range office. No-shows will not receive a refund. Sessions are limited to 10 participants
