Sidney Shooting Park gears up for new season

Sidney Shooting Park (SSP) is located on 114 acres north of Sidney. The park offers trap, skeet and archery venues for visiting enthusiasts and the community.

The SSP offers a trap/skeet venue with five trap houses located on four shooting fields and one skeet field, which also doubles as a trap field.

All five fields are lighted and the trap houses are outfitted with voice-activated Pat-Trap clay throwing machines.

Skeet houses are temporarily using two sporting clay throwers modified for skeet use, with a long range wireless voice-activated call system.

The park also has a separate archery venue. The archery range uses seven large hay bales as target backdrops.

"We also have several 3-D targets which we arrange along the edge of the trap field for 3-D shoots," SSP volunteer Carla Lutz said.

Along with multiple venues, the SSP hosts trap leagues and 4-H youth activities.
