The Rocky Mountain Chapter of NASTT (RMNASTT) and the Water Environment Association of Utah (WEAU) invite you to join us for a morning of trap shooting, industry networking, friendly competition, and lunch!

This joint event brings together professionals from Utah’s trenchless, water, wastewater, engineering, construction, and underground infrastructure communities for a morning designed to build connections, strengthen industry relationships, and enjoy some friendly competition.

Whether you’re an experienced shooter or just looking for a fun way to connect with industry peers, we hope you’ll join us at the Tooele Gun Club.

Mix, Mingle & Compete

We’re changing up the traditional team format to encourage more networking!

Shooters will be assigned to five-person squads upon arrival, giving participants an opportunity to shoot alongside and connect with professionals from different companies and organizations.

Awards will be presented to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place squads based on combined scores. There will also be a High Lady and High Man award.

Pick Your Team Challenge

You’ll also have a chance to build your own competitive team without actually shooting together.

Before shooting begins, each participant can select a five-person Pick Your Team roster. At the end of the event, the individual scores of your selected shooters will be combined to determine the Pick Your Team Champion.

It’s a fun way to combine networking with a little extra competition!
