LEAGUES

Trap Big 50: LSA in association with the Amateur Trapshooting Assoc. (ATA) will once again host the Big 50 Trap Program in 2024! The Big 50 Program has been instituted by the ATA to encourage shooters into registered trap shooting. The program will feature 50 registered targets per event. The Big 50 shoots will be scheduled weekly on Wednesdays, from June 5th through August 28th, 2024, with a 5pm start. During these times, the trap field will be open to the public for registered Big 50 and non-registered shooting. Both registered and non-registered shooters may shoot at the same time and on the same squad. All levels of shooters are welcome. For further information, please contact us at info@leesportsmen.com.

5-Stand: Our 5-Stand course will be open, weather permitting, 2024 Dates/times: TBD. Sign in begins at 9am, and hopefully we will have the first line begin within 30 minutes. WHAT IS 5-STAND? It is a cross between trap, skeet, and sporting clays, with the advantage that it is more action packed than trap, has more cross flying patterns than skeet, and is faster and less expensive than sporting clays. It will definitely make you a better wing shot, so give it a try!
