Colorado Trap Range

W.H.A.C has upgraded the trap range. We now offer an electric thrower that can be operated by an individual. This range is designed for those who would like to practice their hunting skills vs those who are interested in competition. This trap thrower only throws singles and is operated by a pedal. This range is available during all open hours of operations. There is no additional cost to utilize the trap range. All you need to do is bring your own clay birds and follow the rules below.
