I am interested in getting into trap shooting. Is there any intro to trap courses around?

Join a gun club that offers trap / skeet . Plenty of people that will give you instruction , Learn on the fly !

Keep an eye in the events and meetup section. There's been an informal shotgun shoot in Clinton nearly every month.

I shoot Trap at Citizens in West Windsor and Mallard in Jamesburg. Both places are very friendly with some really good shooters mixed-in with the rest of us!

If it's not too far for you, Thunder Mountain is a good range for beginners. They let you borrow a shotgun, and a "guide" helps you on the trap field, regardless of your level. You can go with friends, but a lot of folks go on their own. 

 

Are you new to shotguns or just the game of trap?

Don't quote me but I believe the Sunday morning sessions at OBRPC are open to the public. Non members just pay more (20 instead of 10)

Not sure where you're located since im on mobile but North Jersey Trap club in Fairfield has instructors that will give private lessons.

You can try trap at OBRPC. You will have to pay for the shells and the guys will give you a gun to use as well. Look for the monthly shotgun meet on their website. I tried it for the first time last month and can't wait to do it again

North Jersey Trap club in Fairfield is where I go. Instructors are available but you need to schedule.

 

People are nice but be honest on your abilities so they dont put you with a group of experts and your shooting from the 27 yrd mark. Also best to go in the afternoons on weekends as the mornings are usually competitive groups who expect you to know what your doing . Once you get going though it's a great atmosphere and you learn a lot from your peers.

You can shoot an informal clays game at OBRPC, which can be a fun and social Sunday morning. But it's not Trap.

 

Mallard and many other clubs will be happy to get you shooting. ClayTargetsOnline.com will show you where and what they're shooting and how much.

 

As for instruction, start with YouTube, then go to a club and tell them it's your first time shooting Trap. Anywhere will be happy to go over the basics of the game for you.

Best $100 I spent was an hour+ with one of the instructors at North Jersey Trap.    you will be one-on-one at your own station.  but the lesson won't be on a weekend.. its too busy.
