Fort Worth Trap and S***t Update

The s***t committee at FWTS would like to share an update on the activities associated with our current facility and a few impacts to the s***t calendar as a result of our impending move to our wonderful new facility.

Fort Worth Trap and S***t will be one of the host sites of the 2026 US Open, which will be held from June 26th through the 28th. This will be the last registered s***t event held at this historic facility and a special trophy will be given to the competitor who fires at the last target thrown on Sunday.

The new club is on track to open in late August, and the move has regrettably caused us to cancel our participation in the 2026 Zone VI tournament.

We look forward to blazing new trails with old friends and resuming competition at the new club in the Fall 2026.

Thank you for supporting registered s***t at FWTS.
