New Scholastic Shooting Championship Creates Exciting Opportunity For Teen Shooters
Junior high and high school aged teams have a chance to shoot their way to a national championship at the Grand American. The Grand American World Trapshooting Championships, the nations oldest and largest trapshooting event, is held in Ohio in August. The National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Amateur Trapshooting Association have announced an exciting new shooting sports program for students of junior high and high school age. The Scholastic Trapshooting Program promises to be one of the hottest events this summer, as it brings local teams from around United States together to vie for the title of National Scholastic Trapshooting Team Champion and a coveted Champion Letterman jacket! This may be your chance to be a national junior high or high school champion. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a chance to shoot at the Grand American before you’re old enough to drive! What about winning your own national champion letterman jacket to proudly wear at school, on a date or when you’re just hangin’ out? You Don’t Have To Be An Expert, you just have to want to compete and have fun like these shooters: “When we first heard about the Scholastic Trap Program, we said, 'cool'. Now don’t get us wrong, we are not expert trapshooters. Our best scores are like 22 out of 25. But we will get a lot better practicing for the Scholastic Trap Program!” Jake and Karl Dahl Senior and junior Scholastic Trap Program competitors from upstate New York Whether it’s your first time shooting a registered round or you’ve been bustin’ clays for a long time, Scholastic Trap Program will sharpen your shooting skills and give you a chance to participate in a national tournament. Action, fun, team spirit, self-discipline – all the hallmarks of the shooting sports – are part of the Scholastic Trapshooting Program. How Do I Get Started? Shooters compete on a team in local, state and national competitions that will be coordinated through affiliated ATA state associations and state wildlife agencies. Depending on your age, you will be classified in two divisions: junior (grades 7-8) and senior (grades 9-12). A 200-target, 16-yard singles event format will be used. And remember, this is a co-ed program. As you progress through the competition, your team can set its sights on the national team championship. The junior and senior Scholastic Trap Program Championship Team from each state will be awarded: · State Champion shooting vests · State Champion hats · State Champion polo shirts and · A trip to the National Scholastic Trapshooting Championship at the Grand American. The Scholastic Trap Program National Champions will be awarded college scholarships and special prizes. The national championship teams will be inducted into the Scholastic Trap Program Hall of Champions. Competitions are already underway. Teen Adventure would like to congratulate the Dudley Doo Rights of Wichita Kansas for winning the Kansas State Scholastic Trapshooting Championship, junior high division and the Last Minute Blasters of Wichita, for winning the senior high division. These two teams will compete with other state winners at the Grand American in August. If you would like to compete in this exciting premier program, or would like a more information, contact Bill Christy at 540-951-1569 or Jim Smith at 505-376-2709.
