    Trapshooting was originally developed by bird hunters looking to improve their capacity on the hunt, but the activity was fast to catch on with other interested shotgun enthusiasts.   

    The clay targets are launched from a “house”, via a clay target thrower, which launches a moving clay target at various  distances and angles away from the shooter, depending on the shooters position.

    The shooter will shoot at the target after calling “pull!” Regardless if the shooter shatters the target or merely clips a small corner, the target will be considered a “dead” bird. Shooters have the responsibility to keep their own score.

    This makes trapshooting different from other forms of clay shooting practices. The gun of choice in trapshooting is usually a 12-gauge shotgun. But, shooters have expanded their skills to use a variety of hunting guns in the practice.

    Trapshooting is an attractive sport for men and women alike. Age differences are not important as old and young alike can participate in this exciting event. Of course, a certain amount of strength and stamina are needed to shoot well for any extended amount of time. There are even mental benefits to the practice.

    Participants will improve hand-eye coordination, self discipline and mental focus. It is very important that all participants understand fire-arm safety procedures and have a healthy respect for firearms.

    When shooting trap, each shooter gets 5 shots from 5 different stations.  Each shooter takes 1 shot at a time.  When the last shooter completes his 5th (final) shot at a station, the shooters move to the next station.  In total, a shooter will shoot 25 shots (a box of shells) each round.

    There is always a Range Officer on duty to ensure safety.  Novice shooters will be get individual supervision from a certified Range Officer when they first start to ensure they understand the process, the safety protocols as well as some helpful instruction to increase their success rate at breaking targets.

    COURSE OVERVIEW:

    This 6-hour, live-fire certificate course is designed for shooters with a good knowledge of the fundamentals of marksmanship, and would like to take their skill set to the next level.  This is not a class for the novice shooter; Handgun Level I (or equivalent) is required.  This course will give you the fundamental skills required to safely draw from a holster, engage targets from various distances and positions, exchange magazines or speedloaders, shoot from behind a barricade, and clear malfunctions on your firearm. Successfully completing this course will provide your temporary “Blue Badge”, which will allow you to participate in PPC / KDFGC 1500 training and evaluation. Class size is limited to 8 candidates to ensure a high level of individual attention.

    PRIMARY LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Must be able to use a two-hand grip, move between standing, kneeling, seated and prone positions comfortably, while maintaining full control of the firearm. Must be able to safely participate in moderate physical activity and movement. You must contact us for a pre-course evaluation if this may represent an issue requiring accommodation.

    ·         ·         Pre-read and understand the information contained in the Canadian Firearms Safety Course Manual, pages 215 to 326, (Restricted Firearms modules), along with a review of the owner’s manual for your handgun.

    COURSE OUTLINE:  HANDGUN LEVEL 2 - INTERMEDIATE

    Split Training Friday at Hall 1800-2100 hrs

    Indoor Range Sunday  1000-1600 hrs 


    Trainees are required to bring their own firearms, ammunition and required equipment, including pistol belt, magazine pouches and rigid holster.

    COURSE OVERVIEW:

    This 6-hour, live-fire certificate course is designed for shooters with a good knowledge of the fundamentals of marksmanship, and would like to take their skill set to the next level.  This is not a class for the novice shooter; Handgun Level I (or equivalent) is required.  This course will give you the fundamental skills required to safely draw from a holster, engage targets from various distances and positions, exchange magazines or speedloaders, shoot from behind a barricade, and clear malfunctions on your firearm. Successfully completing this course will provide your temporary “Blue Badge”, which will allow you to participate in PPC / KDFGC 1500 training and evaluation. Class size is limited to 8 candidates to ensure a high level of individual attention.

    PRIMARY LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

    The following will be instructed and evaluated on this course:

    ·         ·         Firearm Safety, skills, knowledge, and attitude

    ·         ·         Dynamic firing line range commands

    ·         ·         Proper presentation of the firearm

    ·         ·         Learning the concept of the four-point draw

    ·         ·         Marksmanship

    ·         ·         Two hand firing Weaver or isosceles positions

    ·         ·         Firearm Reloading Techniques and magazine exchanges

    ·         ·         Malfunction Clearance Drills (Class 1 and 2)

    ·         ·         Varied Shooting Positions (Standing, kneeling, seated, prone)

    ·         ·         Timed relays

    COURSE PREREQUISITES:

    ·         ·         A valid Restricted PAL, which MUST be brought to the course for viewing and verification by the instructor prior to commencing training.

    ·         ·         Completion of the KDFGC Handgun Level I – Basic, or similar professional training and qualification. Consult with the Range Manager or Instructor if you have documentation in this regard prior to registering for the course.

    ·         ·         No health issues which would interfere with the safe and unimpeded use of a strong side belt holster and support side magazine holder. Must be able to use a two-hand grip, move between standing, kneeling, seated and prone positions comfortably, while maintaining full control of the firearm. Must be able to safely participate in moderate physical activity and movement. You must contact us for a pre-course evaluation if this may represent an issue requiring accommodation.

    ·         ·         Pre-read and understand the information contained in the Canadian Firearms Safety Course Manual, pages 215 to 326, (Restricted Firearms modules), along with a review of the owner’s manual for your handgun. This will ensure you are attending with the appropriate level of theoretical knowledge to be successful on the course. Electronic copies of the CFSC manual and most owner’s manuals are available for free online.

    Based on your pre-study of the CFSC manual and owner’s manual, you should commence the course with a strong level of knowledge of how your handgun functions, to include:

    ·         ·         Safety first! ACTS and PROVE in relation to your firearm.

    ·         ·         The parts and names of parts on your firearm.

    ·         ·         All controls on the firearm (Safety, de-cock, magazine release, cylinder release, slide catch, etc.)

    ·         ·         Be able to lock the slide to the rear while maintaining muzzle and trigger finger control.

    ·         ·         Be able to disassemble, reassemble and function check.

    All above will be reviewed and tested as part of the course.

    ·         ·         A well-constructed, good quality strong side holster, made of rigid leather/nylon with a covered trigger and a retention device (firearm cannot fall out if inverted in holster). Absolutely no cross-draw, shoulder, inside the waistband, flap, soft, or concealment holsters. The holster must be designed for your make and model of firearm.

    ·         ·         Note: KDFGC has prohibited the use of Blackhawk Serpa holsters and their variants that unlock in the same manner (using the trigger finger to release the firearm above the trigger guard).

    ·         ·         A sturdy belt which supports the holster and magazine holders firmly and with minimal movement, ideally attached to an inner belt with keepers or Velcro.

    ·         ·         Any medications you require (Ventolin, epi pen, etc.).

    FOOD AND DRINK:

    ·         ·         You must bring hydration, snacks and lunch (We do not leave the range due to time constraints. Food for purchase is not available on site)
