CTA Coast to Coast Trap Shoot

Canadian Trapshooting Association’s Coast to Coast Trap Shoot

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 13, 2025.

Host clubs are responsible for determining target costs and for confirming a registered shoot date with their respective target associations. The CTA asks clubs to collect $5 per 100 targets per shooter for cash prizes. The money collected from each class and yardage group, will be awarded to that class / yardage group. Ties will divide the payout evenly.

The CTA will be awarding the 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 2026 CTA dues paid for. Ties will be settled at the discretion of the Shoot Committee.

The CTA Scoreboard will be used to record scores and display results from all host clubs. Provincial Shoot Administrators will be available to help clubs enter scores. The CTA Shoot Administrators will determine winners after scores from all sites have been finalized.
