Newman Swamp Rats

Established in 1933, the Newman Swamp Rats Club has a rich history in California, evolving from the “Swamp Rats Blue Rock Club” into a dedicated trapshooting range. Members and the general public can utilize its five trap fields, which are well-equipped with Pat Trap machines and Canterbury voice-activated target release systems. Moreover, the club organizes various trapshooting tournaments throughout the year, providing ample opportunity for shooting enthusiasts.

Historical Highlight: The log-style clubhouse, constructed in 1953, still stands, bearing testament to the club’s long-standing tradition in the shooting community.
