Welcome To the Morrison Sportsmen’s ClubTrap Range
Morrison Sportsmen’s Club is located atop a solitary wooded hill
overlooking a scenic view of Illinois flatlands where crops of corn and soybeans are grown. Being a wildlife preserve, many wildlife creatures such as our favorite 3-legged doe and other deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, eagles, doves, raccoons, and foxes can be seen at different times.
The trap range is sited on a green lawn and consists of three trap fields outfitted with automated “ Pat Trap” throwers which are all capable of throwing single or double targets. We also use the Canterberry voice calls which helps avoid a “slow or fast pull” when the target is called for. The voice calls are setup on all three trap ranges. Canterberry voice calls are a voice activated speaker that triggers the Pat trap throwers to throw a target when the shooter calls for a target. The speakers are setup at all five stations and can be moved from the 16-yard line to the 27-yard line.
The trap range is open every Friday to the public and members from 3 PM. to 10 PM. The cost of a 25- target practice shoot for adults is $3.00 and $1.50 for children under age 18.Besides the 25-target practice shoots, there are a variety of other shoots known as “Brother-in-law”, Annie-Oakley, Cut Throat Annie, Hoarse, Turkey or Ham Shoots, Derby’s, ATA Registered Shoots and some others so bring your shotgun and give us a try.
Typically, most trap shooters use a 12-gauge, but you can use any gauge
shotgun you like. We also have 12 and 20 gauge shells available at the
clubhouse at reasonable rates.
First-time shooters: We have a number of “coaches” to help you learn
the game and techniques. You need not be nervous or embarrassed
because every one up here has had a “first time” at shooting.
Come on out and give us a try! Fun for the whole family. We have had grandfathers, grandsons, granddaughters, fathers, daughters, sons, mothers and friends all trying their skills at the 16 yard range or 27 yard handicap. Shooters have been as young as 8 years old and up to 80 + years old .
