Thank you for visiting our website!

Please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the Board of Directors or our Member Clubs for more information.

Ontario boasts the largest contingency of competitive and recreational trapshooters in Canada as well as friendly and well-run facilities all across the province at which you can safely enjoy this great sport. 

Trapshooting, a wholesome, outdoor sport that promotes good sportsmanship and fantastic friendships, is enjoyed by all age groups – from kids to seniors. Many families enjoy the sport together! Have a look at this video taken at our 100th Provincial championship.

Our OPTA Member Clubs look forward to hosting you! Whether you are a first-timer or beginner wanting assistance, a recreational trapshooter who relishes a fun day of breaking clay targets, or a seasoned competitor participating at one of the many exciting Amateur Trapshooting Association/Ontario Provincial Trapshooting Association tournaments held throughout the year, you are most welcome at any of our Clubs.

Our website has been created to provide valuable information for our members, as well as our friends and competitors from across Canada, the United States and around the world who are finding out that trapshooting in Ontario is second-to-none!

We hope you will join us!

How do you join the Ontario Provincial Trapshooting Association (OPTA)?

It’s very simple!
An OPTA membership which costs $20 for a year (Sept 1-Aug 31) can be attained at any member club at any time or when you are attending your first OPTA/ATA sanctioned competition.

If you don’t find what you need on our website or wish further assistance, we are here to help.

For an introduction to the sport, the ATA Hall of Fame has some great information on their website.

 

The government’s  attack on licensed law abiding firearm owners, including our OPTA members, through legislation (Bill C71) and the gun ban delivered through an Order in Council on May 1, 2020, cannot be tolerated.  These are the important things you can do, besides contacting your MP, the PMO’s office and Public Safety Minister Marco Mendocino. 

The CCFR, NFA and CSSA have joined together to challenge the government’s OIC in court. Consider becoming a member of these organizations, and donating above and beyond that if you can to support the legal action. Stand together with all firearm owners and  JOIN THE FIGHT!
