Trap and Field's Around the ATA article from the Atlantic Provinces ATA Delegate
March 2025
Hello from the Atlantic Provinces.
PSA. Winter is here. Cold temperatures, strong winds and windchills into the minus teens (Celsius) are being reported across the Atlantic Provinces. As a result, there’s not much trapshooting going on now (it’s late January when I’m writing this), but some shooters are taking a mid winter break to shoot the Spring Grand. Good luck to Herbie and Janaya Nickerson from Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia.
The 2025 Atlantic Provinces trapshooting schedule is available on shootatlantic.com and there is a full slate of shoots in all provinces. The full Atlantic Provinces Shoot Schedule is also available and includes all clay target shoots for those that like to dabble with skeet and sporting clays.
There’s still time to register for the Canadian Trapshooting Association’s Coast to Coast Trap Shoot - a Canada wide, 300 target satellite shoot scheduled for September 13, 2025. Visit shootcanada.ca for information on the shoot and how to sign up. To date, we have clubs in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia participating.
I have tickets for this year’s ATA Gun Raffle. Tickets are $20 each or 5 for $100. Please consider supporting this great ATA program that supports local clubs by providing funding grants to help with projects, equipment purchases and other club initiatives that promotes trapshooting at their club. Contact me to get your tickets.
If you’re thinking about your own trapshooting schedule for 2025, here are some dates to keep in mind. The Canadian Trapshooting Championships are being held from June 26-29 at the Hamilton Gun Club in Ontario and the Ontario Provincial Shoot is the next week in nearby St. Thomas. If you’re able to, this is a great opportunity to shoot at two of the best trap clubs in Canada. The 2025 ATA target year wraps up with the Atlantic Provinces ATA Provincial Trapshooting in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia from August 27-31. You don’t want to miss that shoot.
