Light Poles Brighten Winter for Buffalo’s Trap and Skeet Shooters

  • Local Champion: Buffalo Trap & Skeet Club
  • Date Funded: August 27, 2026
  • Grant Amount: $3,505

For members of the Buffalo Trap and Skeet Club, fall and winter narrow the window for practice, restricting participation for high school and 4-H members. Seeing a simple solution, one of the club’s board members reached out to LOR with an idea: install two light poles at the club’s range. LOR’s funding will help the Buffalo Trap and Skeet Club purchase black lights, LED lights, concrete mix, and electrical services through a local contractor. The improvements will extend practice hours into the evening, allowing high school athletes, 4-H members, and the club’s roughly 600 members to participate safely throughout the year.
