CTA Coast to Coast Shoot - 2026
The Canadian Trapshooting Association (CTA) invites you and your local club to participate in the CTA Coast to Coast Trap Shoot - a Canada wide, 300 target satellite shoot scheduled for September 12, 2026.
Host clubs are responsible for determining target costs and for confirming a registered shoot date with the ATA or PITA and their provincial trapshooting association. The CTA asks clubs to collect a CTA Fee of $5 per event from shooters. The money collected from each class and yardage group, will be awarded as cash prizes to that class and yardage group. Ties will divide payouts evenly.
The CTA will be awarding High Over All, High Over All Lady and High Over All Junior (under 18) awards. Lady and Junior Category shooters must declare at registration. High Over All ties will be settled by combining the 50 Singles, 50 Handicap and 50 Doubles (150 total) score in reverse order, until a winner is determined. Any remaining ties will be settled at the discretion of the Shoot Committee.
The CTA Coast to Coast Provincial Challenge will award 2 points to the province with the top score in each event class / yardage group and 1 point for the second highest score. The province with the most points will have their provincial 2027 CTA dues paid for. Ties will be settled at the discretion of the Shoot Committee.
Host clubs are encouraged to use SOS Clays to administer their shoot. A satellite shoot will be set up in SOS Clays for host clubs to join. This is the most convenient score reporting option for CTA Shoot Administrators. If a host club is not an SOS Clays user, alternate shoot reporting options will be available i.e. ScoresR or the CTA provided Excel spreadsheet.
The CTA Scoreboard will be used to record scores and display results from all host clubs. CTA Shoot Administrators will determine winners after scores from all sites have been received.
