About Us
Who We Are
The Provo Gun Club was built by shooters and is operated by volunteers. We try to create a FUN legal place to shoot your shotgun. You will not find a more inviting and helpful group of shooters in Utah.
We strive to keep costs down, equipment well maintained, and activity level high. Come try your skills out here and see what sport you are good at. Is it skeet or trap? If you need instruction we will gladly show you the ropes so don’t shy away if you are a novice or first time shooter!

About Our Facility
Provo Gun Club is currently comprised of 4 dedicated Trap fields, 2 dedicated Skeet fields, and a multi-use field. Our multi-use field functions as an additional Trap or Skeet field and is the home of our famed “The Gallows” 5-stand field. Most of our fields are lit for nighttime shooting.
In addition we have a Sporting Clays course at both the North and South ends of the facility. These courses are well laid out in excellent terrain and beautiful scenery beneath Mount Timpanogos. They offer a challenging and varied presentation of targets. Sporting Clays is open only a few times each year so be sure to check the website for open dates.

Difference Between Skeet & Trap
Skeet Shooting and Trap Shooting are both popular clay pigeon shooting sports, but they differ notably in their execution. In Skeet Shooting, shooters move around a semi-circle with stations, taking turns to shoot targets that are released from two fixed houses at opposite ends, known as the high house and the low house. The targets cross in front of the shooter, simulating the angles of birds in flight. Conversely, Trap Shooting involves a single house that releases targets moving away from the shooter at varying angles. This mimics the random flight paths of game birds escaping a hunter. Each sport requires distinct skills; skeet focuses on lateral target transitions, while trap shooting emphasizes quick response to unpredictable target trajectories. Both sports can be enjoyed recreationally or competitively and provide excellent opportunities to enhance shooting accuracy and reaction times. Understanding the difference between skeet and trap shooting can help enthusiasts choose the discipline that best suits their interests and skills.
At Provo Gun Club, we offer both skeet and trap shooting facilities, providing our guests with the opportunity to partake in their preferred sport or even try something new. Our goal is to promote inclusivity and diversity within the shooting community by offering a variety of activities that cater to different preferences and abilities.
