HISTORY:
Hunters formed the Chester Game Protective Association in 1939, later changing its name to the Chester Game Association. Sometimes referred to locally as "The Chester Gun Club," the CGA trap program started in an old chicken coop in 1955 and has been in continuous operation ever since. Robert H. Whitehead, a former President of the CGA and Honorary Member, was inducted into the N.J. State Trapshooting Hall of Fame in 2001. During his career, Bob Whitehead captured 14 Grand American trophies, 23 Southern Grand trophies and was twice named Captain of the All-American Veterans Trap Team.
In 2009, the club celebrated its 70th year, making it one of NJ's oldest, continuously-operating sportsman's clubs.
