You must fill out all the information. No reviews will be posted until reviewed by the webmaster. Your relationship to the facility will be posted. It is fine for someone affiliated to post a review of their own facility, but everyone needs to know if it is the owner or manager posting the review.
Critical but well reasoned and honest reviews will be posted in addition to positive reviews.
No rants or tirades will be posted. It is fine to post a critical review, but no negative reviews will be posted without your First and Last name and a valid email so I can check it out if necessary. If you can't identify yourself then I cannot post your review. Better yet, if you have a problem with the club, please give them a chance to solve it before posting a negative review here.
Anonymous reviews will not be posted. Sign your real name. Your email address must be valid. This site is not intended to be an open forum. I will post, or not post any review submitted as I see fit.
Your email address will not be posted with the review. I will use your email address to contact you only if I need to edit your review in any significant way before posting it, or to confirm your identity.

Nice facility with a clubhouse and 12 traps; however…
This club is under new management, and they increased the prices within the past week. Non-members: $9.00 per round of trap or skeet (i.e. 25 targets). Members: $6.50/round. This kind of pricing will eventually kill the club (and possibly the sport) because young shooters cannot afford these prices.

I recently visited the KCTA to decide whether to join the club. After 2 visits I am hooked. Lynn and his wife Karen have been nothing but generous with their time and information. I understand Lynn will be taking on a National role in Illinois in April or May and yet he was more than willing to help a novice begin in the sport. I would recommend the KCTA to any one wanting to begin in the sport.

My wife and I recently took up trap shooting, along with another couple. The club manager, Lynn Gipson, went out of his way to make us feel welcome and get started in the sport. Our wives were initially somewhat nervous, not wanting to embarrass themselves. Lynn took the time to take us all out to a trap field, and gave us personal instruction to get us going. He certainly did not have to do that, and it was much appreciated. His prices in the well stocked pro shop are very competitive. We have also found that the “regulars” at the club are very friendly, and willing to help new shooters. Lynn runs a first class facility, and we intend to get involved in the fall leagues.

We were all excited about having a Trap club in our backyard just to find out KCTA does not have Sporting Clays; they do have Skeet and Trap. The staff was standoffish and the manager, Lynn Gipson, was not very helpful or friendly.
