Winter League 2026

Welcome to Weeks 1-5 of Winter League. Here are some reminders for league shooting:

• Shooting order is locked down. If you have any changes in the order, we will make them at the end of week 5, when we re-print all the scoresheets and make the new scoreboard.

• Substitutions in your line-up must be approved by the Board of Directors. Violation of this rule will result in the team being disqualified from Winter League. Exception is for 5-man teams who are adding a 6th shooter. 

• League shooting is done on Wednesdays & Thursdays, 5:00-10:00 pm (last squad MUST be signed up by 9:00 pm).

• The first five weeks are used for handicapping; all shooters will shoot a total of 50 targets: 25 targets from the 16-yd line and 25 targets from the 24-yd line

• During this first five weeks, a shooter may shoot ahead or from behind.

• Shooting may be cancelled due to extreme weather conditions. Make plans to shoot ahead if necessary. No scoring adjustments will be made for weather closures. Check www.flatheadtrapclub.org or facebook.com/fvctc for closure announcements. 

• Shoot with your team! Teams must have more than half of its shooters shooting together to avoid the $5 misfit fee.  

• Eye and ear protection must be worn on the trap field: 1st offense, warning; 2nd offense, black 50 for the shooter that week.

• Do not tip the trap help prior to shooting your round.

• No picking up of empty hulls on the trap fields.
