Tri-City Gun Club
Happy St. Pattys Day 2024
22 shooters came out to try their luck at the pot of gold. They enjoyed great weather, good food, and, as usual, just a darn good time with friends and family. We look forward to 2025 when we celebrate our 10th year!!
The Pot O Gold went to Randy Grotts. With 19 lucky targets, he scooped up his winnings and said he would like to donate it to the TCGC Youth shooting sports! Thanks Randy!
Tri-City Gun Club has 2 skeet fields and 2 trap fields both of which are lighted. Skeet fields are NSSA certified and trap field 1 is ATA certified. Both fields have a covered patio, gun racks, and several comfortable chairs to lounge in. There is a covered hand thrower area which has 2 club owned throwers. Feel free to bring your own thrower to this area. For youth shooters and those new to the sport we highly recommend using the pvc shooting stands that are located at the hand thrower area. This helps with muzzle control. Those of you who shoot solo and would like to use your auto pullers at the skeet fields are welcome to do so. No Special Shotgun Orientation Needed for scheduled shoots. i.e. 5-stand and Monday Night Lights.
A few things to remember:
- No shot larger than 7 1/2
- Trap lids are to be closed at all times, excep for loading targets and maintenance
- Club does not provide guns or ammo
- You must provide your own clay targets at hand thrower area
- Keys are available to access trap/skeet for $25 and orientation
- All members and guest are welcome to shoot trap/skeet with a member that has access
- BREAK DOWN ALL BOXES AND PUT IN BLUE DUMPSTER. Yes, this includes shell boxes!!
- Empty shell buckets into blue dumpster

EARLY BIRDS 5-STAND SATURDAYS 8A-12P
Seasonal Hours
The latest addition to the TCGC shooting sports is nearing completion. We have had great success in achieving a working 5-Stand setup and everyone who has participated absolutely loves it. The most common word used to describe it is "humbling". We are very proud of the setup, as it is quite challenging. If your looking to brush up on your wing shooting, come on out and give it a try! No gun, no problem. Pick up a couple of boxes of 12g shells and join in.
Check the calendar often for scheduled shoots. Call, text, or email Tara (405.664.6549 or shotgun@tcgc.us) if you would like to be added to the text group. Due to changing seasons and holidays we may decide last minute to have an event.
Recommended shells are 1oz or 1 1/8oz with #7.5 or #8 shot. Recommended chokes are IC, M, IM. If you really want to challenge yourself use full chokes.
- Members $6 per round
- Non-Members $8 per round
SUMMER HAS MORNING HOURS-CHECK CALENDAR
Open to members and their guests. Every Monday Night 5:30 to @9:30 (or until done shooting) in winter months (6 or 7 pm in spring and summer) Fees are listed above. This is a great place to start if you are new to clay target shooting. Or just come out and visit with the group. They can answer questions from what type of shotgun, best ammo, how to play, and learning the fundamentals of clay target shooting. Join us for fellowship and trap! No previous shotgun orientation needed!
Notice
SHOOTERS PAY ATTENTION!!! We have noticed a lot of shot damage to the exterior of the high and low houses. This damage is the result of being shot at. There is NEVER a reason to have a gun pointed at the house, let alone firing into it.
Shooting clays before they leave the house is not permissible. Please STOP.
Help us keep the fees for shooting skeet and trap at a minimum. Houses, machines, and necessary equipment to operate the fields are not cheap. Damage due to negligence can result in range closures for repair time and increased fees to cover repairs and maintenance cost.
Contact Tara to arrange a Shotgun Orientation for member access to Skeet and Trap Ranges. Cost of $25.00.
