Junior Programs Started!

Perhaps the nicest weather ever for the start of the Junior Trap and Skeet programs produced a record number of Juniors! Two full squads of skeets shooters and too many trap shooters to count. Hope to see you all next Monday!

Targets Moved!

A great show of club spirit last night with many Juniors and regulars members coming out to help fill all the houses! Tasks that were started for the spring clean-up were finished: racked up wads were bagged and the garbages emptied. Now all that if left to do is SHOOT'EM UP!

Target Moving

Members are asked to come out at 6:00 pm Tuesday April 29 to move some of the new Lawry targets from the boxcar into both the trap and skeet houses.

Spring Clean Up

The spring clean up will commence at the WT&SC on Wednesday, April 23rd. What needs to be done, houses cleaned out, garbage picked up on the property. The gates will be open at noon. If you can spare an hour or two come out and give a hand. For those working a crew will be working from 5:00 pm on Bring your boots and gloves because we still have both snow and water on the property.

Targets moved

The Club wishes to thank the established members who came out and helped unload the 20' container of targets, as well as the new member who help. It was one of the best turn-outs for unloading ever. Now let's get out and break those targets so we can order more!.

2014 Season slow to start

The parking lot has been cleared thanks to a loaner Kubota tractor courtesy of Lawson's Equipment and the expert operation of John Johnson and Ian Wood over the weekend.

OPEN for the season

It's finally time! It's getting warmer outside, the birds have started singing again, and the potholes are as massive as ever. But we've finally hit that point in the year where it's nice enough to get out and have some fun. Come on out and celebrate, by shooting some clays.

CLOSED for the Season

The club is official closed for the winter. The ATA trap houses have been tarped and the electronics removed. Skeet will continue to be available with the token machine for a few more weeks as long as there is still access. The Board of Directors will keep an eye on the weather and try to open as soon as possible in the spring. Hopefully we can once again start the year off with a Easter Bunny shoot. Thank you all for a GREAT year! Have a safe and Happy Holiday season!

Fall/Winter Hours

Starting in October, the club will only be open (staffed) on Sundays only (10:30 am until 4:00 pm with last token/ticket sold at 3:00 pm). The club will remain open until snowfall limits access. As soon as the temperature falls consistently below freezing the trap machines will no longer be available for token use, since the hydraulic fluid becomes too viscous. Skeet will continue to be available.

Thank you John Jones

On Saturday March the 6th, a major snow clearing effort was undertaken at the Winnipeg Trap and Skeet Club. With the quality work put forward by John Jones and his skid steer the parking lot was cleared and the paths to trap field 4 and skeet field 1 opened. Paul Moorby used his own snow blower to clear the skeet field and I shoveled the trap field by hand. Stan Orr was on hand for moral support/advice/story telling and cooking some awesome hogit and bison steaks that John provided. There were 54 rounds shot on the next day (Sunday), but I think the real fun was the day before. Thanks to those who helped clear the club, your volunteer efforts and points are noted.

John lives in Arborg and owns/operates Arborg Auto body Quality Cars & Truck Sales. 204-376-2374

John and his family make a considerable number of shooters and strong supporters the WTSC.
