Choose a repeat option for a weekly trap night or a third-Saturday steel match and one entry covers the whole series.

An Illinois match day: what rides in the bag

Open benches on the Illinois prairie give no shade in July and no windbreak in January, so muffs, glasses and a bag that closes tight earn their place.

Illinois shoot calendar FAQ

Which hosts account for the most rows here?

By date count: World Shooting and Recreational Complex (26), Illinois NASP (26) and ATA club shoot (17).

Do any Illinois match listings show scores or winners?

No.⁠ The ATA club pages link no results file, the NASP and CMP result pages were not read, and names of young shooters are never copied, so every row here is a date ahead.

Does this site take match entries or money?

No.⁠ Entries and fees belong to the host; the row button opens the host page, or the source listing where no sign-up page exists.

Can my club get a cowboy shoot, steel night or show added?

Yes: use the add-a-match form lower down, giving the date and a public page that confirms it, for instance a club calendar.

Why is a favourite club missing?

Club meetings, work days, concealed-carry classes and listings without a usable venue were left out, and some clubs publish their schedule only on social media, which was not used.

How big is the calendar from today forward?

120 shoots, shows and classes fall on or after November 13, 2026. No Illinois row carries published placings, so there is no results page.

Which date comes first?

2-Gun Fundementsls, Speed & Accuracy with Adam Winch (World Shooting and Recreational Complex), Nov 13-15, 2026.

Which sort of shoot dominates the list?

Trap and Clays leads with 41 dates, many held at Sparta, Whittington or Rockford.

Where do the gun shows land this season?

17 show weekends are posted; the busiest towns are Princeton, Crown Point, Kankakee, New Berlin and Belleville.

When does the next Grand American trapshoot start at Sparta?

Ata Grand American, Aug 4-14, 2027, per the Sparta complex calendar.
