Services:

The Winnipeg Trap and Skeet Club provides a range of services aimed at both experienced shooters and those new to the sport:

• Instruction and Training: The club offers guidance for new shooters, including fundamental safety training and tips on gun handling and hitting targets. Mentors are available to assist first-time shooters and younger participants (as young as 12 years old) who can legally shoot without a license when supervised by a valid PAL holder.
• Shotgun Rentals: For those who do not own a shotgun or a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL), the club offers rentals of semi-automatic shotguns in 12 or 20 gauge for a fee.
• Target Sales: Targets are typically purchased in rounds of 25, which can be loaded onto an electronic card for use on the fields.
• Membership Options: The WTSC offers tailored membership options for Youth (25 and below), Single Adults (26 and up), and Seniors (65 and up). Membership provides access to the club during its operating season (typically mid-March to mid-November) and reduced rates on target rounds.
• Firearms Safety Courses (PAL Course): The club facilitates Unrestricted Firearms Courses (PAL courses) administered by registered instructors, which are necessary for obtaining a firearms license in Canada.
• Events and Competitions: The club regularly hosts various shooting events and competitions throughout its operating season.
• Group Shoots and Corporate Events: The WTSC is capable of hosting corporate groups, parties, birthdays, and other events, accommodating up to 65 people and providing a unique team-building experience.

The Winnipeg Trap and Skeet Club is committed to promoting safe and responsible clay shooting, providing a welcoming atmosphere, and supporting the development of shooting sports in Manitoba.
