Trap Game Day, 30-Nov’25

Despite the cold and rain, we had a great turnout today at the Westford Sportsmen’s Club for our Sunday Trap, which is always open to members and non-members.


We mixed in two games to make things even more fun:

  1. Adios allowed three shooters to all potentially have a shot at the same target. If one or two miss and the third shooter breaks the target, anyone who missed is out.
  2. Buddies was a partner-style round where participants pair up and shoot together, working as a team to break birds.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and kept the energy high even in rough weather. We look forward to the next one.
