Continuing Changes for the 2024/2025 Shoot Year:
- Prize money: $15.00 per event when the number of shooters is below 80.
$20.00 per event when the number of shooters is 80 or over.
That’s up to $80.00 if you win your Singles Class, your Doubles Class, your Handicap Class
and HOA Class.
- Guaranteed minimum pay out on Handicap Jackpot Prize!
It costs $2 to enter and you need to have participated in the handicap
event for six shoots to establish your handicap distance and eligibility.
A score of 50 wins, and if there is no winner, a score of 49 takes
half the pot. If the pot is below $50.00 for winners
or $25.00 for half Jackpot winners, the club will make
up the difference.
Our shoots are held at Redlands Shooting Park.

Tri County Trap Club Annual Award Program
We have two award programs, the Annual Awards Program and the Twelve Point Buckle Program.
 |
The main difference is the Twelve Point Buckle Program does not have a minimum shoot attendance requirement in order to qualify. Earn your twelve points and you earn the buckle. You could earn one in as few as three months. In each future year, qualifiers will receive a diamond chip along with that year engraved on their buckle. |
 |
The Annual Awards Program is a "Best of 9" shoots format. You need a minimum of nine to qualify. It provides for an overall annual Grand Champion plus first place buckles to all classes and yardage groups. Ties receive duplicate buckles. |
 |
In addition to the Annual Awards there is annual qualifying for eligibility into the Champion of Champions competition held at the first shoot of the next target year. This annual event usually takes place in July and runs concurrent with the regular club shoot. |
Please see our Annual Award/ Rules/By-Laws tab available on our web site www.tricountytrap.com for the complete rules and eligibility requirements.
Earning 12 Point-Buckle Points
It takes 12 points to earn a 12-point buckle. A shooter can earn as many as 4 points per shoot. Points are earned two ways. You earn a point by shooting the high score in your in Singles class, Doubles class, HOA class or your Yardage group. Each high score in an event earns one point.
A point can also be earned by shooting a score equal to or better than prior target years average winning score in any of a shooter's classifications or yardage group.

Averages and Reductions
Member's averages are calculated and maintained by the club handicapper. A shooter may refuse a reduction and stay at a minimum of that class or yardage for the remainder of the shoot year. It is each shooters responsibility to verify that he/she is properly classified prior to shooting the event.
Classification System
Tri County Trap Club members compete in all 3 of the typical American Trap Disciplines, Singles, Handicap, and Doubles. Six classes for Singles and Doubles (AAA, AA, A, B, C & D) as well as five Yardage Groups (20, 21, 22-24, 25-26, & 27) accommodate all skill levels.
| Class | Singles | Doubles |
|---|---|---|
| AAA | 98 and greater | 46.5 and greater |
| AA | 96.25 but less than 98 | 44.5 but less than 46.5 |
| A | 94.75 but less than 96.26 | 43 but less than 44.5 |
| B | 93 but less than 94.75 | 41.5 but less than 43 |
| C | 90 but less than 93 | 39 but less than 41.5 |
| D | Less than 90 | Less than 39 |
| Handicap Reduction (All Yardage) | 43 |
If you win or tie in your class or yardage you move up one class or one yard.
Reductions are awarded based on a 3 score review system. This system levels the playing field by allowing each member to compete with other shooters of similar skill levels for the Monthly prizes and Annual Awards. You may refuse reductions. If you refuse a reduction, you must stay at that minimum class or yardage for the remainder of the target year.
For Singles and Doubles, New non-ATA members will be assigned to "C" Class
until known ability has been established by the results of 3 shoots.
For Handicap, the Handicapper shall have the discretion to classify new
members according to the following guidelines. Male shooters 18 or older
may be assigned to the 22 yard line. Lady or Junior shooters may be
assigned to the 20 yard line. A new member's official opening yardage
for the shoot year shall not be established until 6 handicap scores have
been posted. The Handicapper, for all events, Singles, Doubles, or
Handicap, may modify these classifications as circumstances warrant.
Special Categories including Veterans, Senior Veterans, Ladies, and Juniors serve to further ensure each member's opportunity to compete successfully.
