Some fundraising shooting events(3 to 5) are held on Sundays and at these times trapshooting extends from 9:00 a.m. to about 9:00 p.m. Members can shoot at other times but rarely do so since the gate, clubhouse and trap are locked and require a board member's key for access. The Trap Club also engages in public service activities. At least 6 club members are Hunter Safety Instructors and hence the Wisconsin hunter safety course has been taught there for the past 20 years. For at least the last 10 years the property has been made available to the Blackhawk Chapter of Ducks Unlimited for its Greenwing Day youth program. Recently, a University of Wisconsin/DNR coordinated course(led by Scott Craven of the DNR)used the facility for instructional training. The Club has also arranged, assisted and provided parking and access for State Historical Society tours of nearby Indian mounds.
