Geocache Description:


Lincoln Trap & Skeet founded in the 1933 as the Lincoln Gun Club originally located a short distance Northeast of their current location.

The goal of skeet shooting is to foster amateur sports competition and shotgun target shooting to educate people in the proper conduct and effective techniques of target shooting and the safe and effective use of shotgun.  Skeet shooting helps develop good sportsmanship and in general, promotes and advances the development of amateur competition.

Interesting facts:

1955 – Relocated to current location under their current name.

1956 – Current clubhouse was built

1977 – Wooden skeet houses were replaced with concrete block houses

1988 – Targets thrown:    687,700

1992 – Targets thrown: 1,001,050

2022 - Targets thrown: 1,435,000

I wish to thank Mike Lane for giving permission to locate a cache at this location.


This cache is NOT located within the actual shooting range. CACHE IS LOCATED WITHIN 10 PACES OF THE FLAGPOLE.

OK – now that you have found the Cache, the combination to the lock. can be found by "Honoring the Flag." Once you have entered the correct code, press in on the shackle to get it to open. To close and properly lock, you will need to press the shackle in while rotating the tumbler back to "0 0 0 0". 

Congratulations XZQ&dad for the First -To-Find !
