Overview

Mission

To promote and encourage trap shooting, recreation and social amusements amoung the members.

What it reported doing in 2024

Trap shooting at the club facility is conducted three times per week. The club facilities are open for socializing amoung the members and their guests. Sale of ammunition and components provides convenience to the members so that they may spend more time shooting at the trap club. Conducting tournaments allows for a competitive challenge for our members and additional time for socialization amoung members and their guests.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
