Rules for Safely Shooting Trap & Skeet on Different Fields Simultaneously
If anyone is shooting skeet, it is always the trap shooters responsibility to wait until the skeet round is finished, and then ask the skeet shooters to pause before shooting their next round before you go down to either open, close or load the trap house.
Always place the orange safety cone on the roof of the trap house anytime you are opening, loading, or closing. Remember to remove the orange safety cone from the roof and put it back inside the trap house when you are finished.
After you are finished at the trap house, let the skeet shooters know that they can resume shooting skeet.
If you are shooting trap, and if either of other fields are actively shooting skeet, NEVER go past skeet station #8 toward the trap house because you could be in the direct line of fire from skeet stations #s 1, 7, or 8, depending on which fields are being used for trap & skeet. Even if you are shooting trap first, and then someone comes to shoot skeet, it is still always the trap shooters responsibility to wait until the skeet round is finished, and then ask the skeet shooters to pause before shooting their next round before you go down to the trap house for any reason.
To safely shoot trap and skeet on different fields at the same time and avoid any possible misunderstanding, it is always the trap shooter’s responsibility to personally walk over and ask the skeet shooters to pause or resume shooting.
If you are approved to open trap or skeet, you must take responsibility to be sure all shooters in attendance are adhering to the above rules and the general safety rules of the club – and if not, it is your responsibility to advise them accordingly.
If you are approved to open trap or skeet and you are shooting with a group – do not leave unless another approved member is available to close. If you must leave and there are no other members present approved to close, you must end the shooting session.
Any shooter posing a danger to others will be subject to removal from club grounds with all privileges revoked.
