In February, 1975, the annual meeting was held in the MacKinnon Lecture Theatre at Holland College. After electing Ted Woodruff President, the Club seriously considered the addition of a second skeet field to its layout. An arrangement to obtain a second matching set of auto-loading Western skeet traps had already been considered through the Winchester organization. A new set that had been used at the 1974 Canadian Championships in Montreal was available at a considerable saving. Discussion was minimal as the Club elected to purchase the traps, and immediately planned another winter lottery to help defray the cost.

Within a few weeks the Montreal traps had arrived. Work on the new skeet field was started as soon as the frost was out of the ground in the spring. It was laid out to the left of the existing field, encompassing the already-established trap facility. A new high house was constructed and set up on the new field, while the old high house was converted toa combination high/low, complete with a new storage building in place of the usual dividing fence. The work was done by an aggressive crew of members working with dedicated enthusiasm. With the new traps installed, and shooting stations established, the field was ready for operation by early June. The Club had finally returned to the two-field status it enjoyed through the 50's, and could now, with additional facilities, seek out aggressive new shooting members that would be necessary for continued growth.

On June 21st the Atlantic Trap Championship were held in Dartmouth, and Ted Woodruff took home a medal winning Class A of the doubles event, once again establishing Charlottetown gunners on the Maritime scene. Three weeks later the Atlantic Skeet shoot was held in Moncton, and this year it was Bill Morrell's turn as he took the top prize in Class B, 12 gauge, and partnered with Woodruff to win the two-man title.
