Capitol City Trap and Skeet Club

Came here for the first time today with my husband, mom and dad, we had a great time! It is really nice there and very affordable. We bought the family membership and will come back soon!
Everyone there are really nice and very helpful! We had a great time and can’t wait to go back. Plus the grounds/​facilities are really nice and clean!

Brought my husband here for his very first Father’s Day as a surprise. Despite a little wifey snafu, Amanda and Jim helped me salvage the afternoon and we had a GREAT time!
The location is super easy to get to and in a really pretty location full of lush greenery. We did skeets and and each disc shot consistently and smooth. Everyone was super friendly, helpful, respectful and we felt very well taken care of and safe. Ear and eye protection were available in case you forgot yours, which I also appreciated. Ammo is available for purchase, but know that you must bring your own shotgun and it must meet their requirements for type for everyone’s safety and protection.
We loved our time there and we will be going back as soon as I get the shotgun my husband has now promised me after I had more fun than I thought I would! ;)

Visited today for the first time. Been to Eagle Peak, they have the rudest employees out there, so today it was between here and the one in Liberty Hill and per the Unilocal reviews of how rude they are in LH I came here and I’m glad I did.
Staff was great out here, very informative and friendly and the prices seemed very fair. I forgot my earplugs and they have some for free which I thought was pretty cool. Nice set up for skeet and trap. This will be my regular place to come to from now on, I will probably get a membership.

Great staff. Nice, clean grounds. Trap, skeet and sporting clays! Enough shooting stations to keep you entertained for hours. Clay machines are well maintained. Really fun place but pricey (ends up around $ 25/​hour if you’re taking your time). I’d go more often if I could afford it.

I went as a first timer and left feeling very welcome and excited to come back. Fallon at the desk was super friendly and helped explain everything to me. There were no moments of feeling stupid or out of place. The facility was well kept and operated. I will definitely be coming back soon and on a regular basis and hopefully with some friends for some friendly competition.

Nothing sets you up for a better Sunday than getting out on the gun range, eating some BBQ, and heading to church. I do not get to do this terrific trio together very often, but the most recent occurrence was pretty superb.
That being said, the great people that work here are great. The facilities are pretty affordable, and they also sell most of your necessities – along with free ear plugs and glasses.
The trap course is quite enjoyable, as it throws all sorts of unique patterns at you – see others’ reviews on how it resembles golf.
The atmosphere here is more low-​key, but there are some sharp shooters, so it would even provide as a good outlet to come watch some hardcore shots. I really enjoy this club, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to put some rounds through their firearm – directed at targets, that is. Not humans.

Great facility nice people

I’ve been here a couple of times for shooting. I just like to shoot clays and am not very serious about it like some of the people that come. It’s nice that they provide you with eye wear and ear plugs in case you forget. The staff here are nice also. Too bad it is so far from my house.

It’s an interesting phenomenon in that at a place where everyone is heavily armed, they are also exceedingly friendly and helpful.
This is the first range I’ve been to with a great deal of structure about how and when to shoot, where to stand, how many rounds to load, etc.
I freely acknowledged my ignorance and not a single person mocked or derided me for it. Instead, everybody I talked to helped get me and a (really) new shooter set up.
Donna got us checked in and loaned us some gear that we didn’t know we needed. Two other shooters showed us how the equipment worked and gave us pointers. The staff even came out to configure the equipment for novices and then back to the regular setting when we asked.
My friend, who weighs maybe 110 lbs and had never handled a 12ga before, had a great time and already started talking about going back. Sounds like success to me!

Someone else on Unilocal described Capitol City Trap and Skeet as being like «Golf, but with a shotgun.» That sums up this place perfectly.
I haven’t played golf, but I’ve seen golf courses and can agree that the sporting clays courses here are rolling landscapes designed to challenge your shooting skills. The difference, however, is that the staff change up the throwers quite frequently at CCTSC, so almost every visit is going to result in different shots to try out. It’s hard to imagine the sporting clays courses getting boring.
They have all kinds of nice amenities such as carts, indoor lounge, outdoor patio with barbecue grills, refrigerators, free iced water bottles throughout the clays courses, free ear plugs & safety glasses, and clipboards for scoring. The staff and all the other shooters are always very friendly.
They have four skeet courses, several trap courses, two five-​stand courses, a pattern board, and three or four sporting clay courses.
Bottom Line: This is my favorite place to shoot shotguns. It’s also the closest outdoor shotgun range to downtown.

These guys run a great business. I’ve been there plenty of times in the late afternoon and have always had friendly service and great clay sessions.
It is a small drive from downtown, and the only real big problem is if you go down 290, expect a lot of traffic on the way back into town, but that is because of the over-​crowded flea-​market. There’s another route there, but unless you know Austin, you might get lost.
Bring your own gun, be safe, bring your friends, and support this club!

Don’t be fooled by the address, this club is in Austin. And it’s really nice. Good group of people and all happy to help or teach anyone. I came here as a guest (no membership needed but it will get you discounts) and everyone was really cool. Skeet is a great way to start and they will help you get started with tips or a full lesson. Not sure if they rent shotguns, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
The clays course is really spread out and diverse. Everything from long shots over water to tiny clays in the trees. Lots of fun. And they will let you pull your own targets, so your groups can have fun without having someone you don’t know pulling targets for you. Nice technology, great course, clean friendly facility. Like golf with a shotgun. Highly recommended.
