All members and guests using the rifle, pistol, or 3D archery ranges are required to sign in and deposit $1 (guests pay $5) per visit in a lock box at the club entrance to help defray range costs. Everyone must also sign out when leaving the range. There is small barn on a post at the gated club entrance with a sign in/out clip board inside. This requirement is for safety and to permit JCOC staff to know who is doing the shooting without traveling to the range. We do have occasional trespassers.

Note: You may bring a guest once per month.

Trap Range

Trap Range
The Trap Range is open Wednesday nights beginning the first Wednesday in April and continues through the last Wednesday in October. There are two trap machines and shooting areas. Shooting begins at 5 PM and continues until everyone has shot as many rounds as they wish. Charges are $5 for all adults and $4 for youths under age 18 for a round consisting of 25 clay pigeons. Shells are not included or sold at the club.

The trap machines are not available to members, except on Wednesdays at the nightly shoot. However, you may bring a hand thrower or portable trap machine of your own and use it at the trap area. Please check to make certain there are no 3D, rifle or pistol target shooters using those ranges before you shoot at the trap range. Those areas are directly North of the trap ranges and in the line of fire. There is a free pizza party for the last shoot of the year.
