Trap - Skeet - 5-Stand

A. Trap Shooting

 Trap Shooting at Dubuque Izaak Walton is open to the public on Wednesday evenings and on Sundays. Check the club’s calendar at https://sites.google.com/site/dubuquechapter/calendar for exact times.

A round of trap consists of 25 single clay targets shot from 5 positions on the trap range. Targets are thrown at random angles flying away from the shooter. There are always experienced personnel on hand to help beginners get started.

Trap leagues are available. Teams consist 7 individuals who compete against other teams of like ability throughout the summer season. Individuals may shoot their league rounds during any of the open shooting times. If you don’t have enough people to form a team, you can be added to an existing team.

The club is also home to several local high school trap teams. These teams practice and hold meets at the Dubuque Izaak Walton club from March until the school year ends in early June.

The club can also host special trap shooting events for groups on request.

B. Skeet

The club has one skeet field which is open to the public during the same times as open trap.

A round of skeet consists of 25 targets thrown from 2 different machines.  A round consists of both single targets and pairs shot from 8 positions around a semi-circular range. As with trap, we have experienced people who will help get you started with skeet.

C. 5-Stand

The club offers 5-Stand Sporting Clays on Tuesday evenings from mid-May thru mid-September. This is also open to the public. This is a very challenging and fun shooting discipline!

A round of 5-stand consists of 25 targets thrown from 8 different machines. Shooters fire 5-shots (1 single target and 2 pairs) from each of 5 positions or stands. Each stand has a menu showing which targets are being launched at that station. These menus are changed every week and the stands are positioned differently each week. Also, some of the throwers can be moved to different locations each week. You can come to our 5-stand every night of the season and never shoot the same course twice! As with the other clay target sports, we have people ready and willing to help beginners.
