Trap Leagues
The Ike’s trap range consists of six trap houses equipped with automatic trap machines and voice activated calls. The two trap houses closest to the road are the designated Self-Use Traps. Look at the Self-Use Trap page for information on this program. The Ike’s sponsors a Summer Trap League, a Fall Trap League, Cornhusker State Games Youth Trap (July 22, 2012), and a Summer Youth Trap League. In addition to this; three of the local high schools use the facility for practice from early February thru April. Typically about 200 high school shooters practice on our range. The Ike’s typically sponsor two area high school trap shoots with more than 350 participants in late March and April.

THE SUMMER TRAP LEAGUE
The Summer Trap League is a 16-week league that will begin on May 10th and ends on August 30th. July 19th will be an open date for the National Izaak Walton League meeting being held at our clubhouse. Dick Mavis is the Ike’s member supervising this league. The league is made up of teams sponsored by various businesses or the team can elect to sponsor themselves. An $85.00 sponsorship fee is charged and this money is used for awards at the awards dinner at the end of the shooting season. Both Ike’s members and non-Ike’s members are invited to shoot. The team roster with up to ten shooters along with the sponsorship fee is required before shooting starts. The fee will be $6.00 per round.
Shooting typically starts at 6:30 in the evening and ends at 9:00 or 9:30. The team that shoots at 6:30 one week will shoot at 7:00 the next week. Only the team members on the roster are allowed to shoot. During the first two weeks of shooting, scores will be used to determine averages and classification will be finalized (AA, A, B, etc.) The first round will be from the 16 yard line and based on the team score a handicap yardage will be assigned. Teams will be assigned on who they are competing against which will change every week. One point will be assigned for the 16-yard, handicap and overall scores for a potential total of 3 points. Team members need to have a minimum of one round of 16 yard targets and one round of handicaps during the first two weeks of qualifications.

THE FALL LEAGUE
The Fall Trap League is an eight week league and typically starts in late August and ends in October. Dick Mavis is the Ike’s member supervising this league. The league is made up of teams sponsored by various businesses or the team can elect to sponsor themselves. A $40.00 sponsorship fee is charged and this money is used for awards. Both Ike’s members and non-Ike’s members are invited to shoot. A team roster and the sponsorship fee are required before shooting starts but shooting is not restricted to team members only. Anyone can be brought in to shoot at any time.
The Lewis system of scoring is used and this means that all of the teams shooting are shooting against each other. At the end of the night the total scores for each team are listed and one point is awarded to the first, fifth, tenth team etc. shooting. One half point is awarded to the second, sixth, eleventh etc. team. In this league the teams sign up for a particular time slot on a first-come-first-serve basis and they shoot at the reserved time for the whole eight weeks. The first round of rocks is shot from the 16 yard line and the second round is shot from longer yardage. The longer yardage is determined by the points awarded to the team in past weeks of shooting.
