New trap pads for the Bulkley Valley Rod and Gun Club, Smithers BC

[bdft]

Time for some new pads for our trap range. The old ones were 40+ years old. They were cracked, broken, crooked and generally worn out. Time to put the concrete guys to work. It won't be cheap but these pads should last another 50 years.

The old ones were pretty rough.

Ripped everything out, levelled and formed up, all to ATA/PITA specs. 36" wide with lines cut every 36" and 12" in front of the 16 yard line for the microphones. Brushed finish with a slight crown.

No screwing around here.

We will have to do some landscaping and clean everything up but all the complicated work is done. We can still shoot our 300 target shoot this Saturday. Should be cured enough for that.

Trap is still very much alive at at least one range in northern BC.

Hopefully a deer doesn’t walk across it in the evening.

Looks great!

I hope you've got nice yardage numbers clearly pressed into the surface, and off to the side and not right in the middle.

Were you there when the first ones were built?

They look great... and they look a lot like the ones we built at Mossleigh about 20 years ago. At the time we sold brass plaques with long time members names on them to embed into the cement as a fundraiser for them.

The Marthaller kids all went through the Mossleigh Junior program and have all excelled at trap shooting, the entire family is actively involved with the club and a great asset!
