Yesterday was an exciting—and incredibly intense—day at the Trap Nationals Qualifier. When you reach the pinnacle of this sport, the margins between moving on and going home are razor-thin. Out of 1,752 competitors, only the top 400 advanced to today's Championship.

Our three shooters went toe-to-toe with the best and put up some fantastic scores:

• Brad Horning: Finished 406th with an awesome 95/100 (just barely missing the cut-off!)

• Porter Laurie: Finished 626th with a strong 93/100

• Keyton Simmons: Finished 994th with a great 90/100

To give you an idea of the field, 17 shooters shot a perfect 100. For our guys to place where they did out of nearly 1,800 shooters is a massive achievement.

Well done, gentlemen! Your coaches, families, and teammates are incredibly proud of you. We improve every time we step onto the line. Bring on the Fall Season!

As our Spring Season and States come to a close, I want to thank everyone who came to watch us, gave a donation, liked one of our posts or thought about us and told somebody about our program. We have an amazing thing going and I am very excited and proud to be a part of it. We are growing constantly in our skills and in number of students.  Our students continue to learn teamwork, confidence in themselves, firearm safety & maintenance, accountability, and personal responsibility.    

We did not come home from States with any hardware, but we had some fantastic achievements. Our opening Session of Trap saw our varsity shooters score 3 perfect rounds of 25 and also a 50 straight! 

Congratulations Ronan Johnson on your first 25! And congratulations Porter Laurie on another 25 and well done Brad Horning on 50 straight at states for the second consecutive year. 

We also had a couple novice shooters make tremendous gains in their scores while shooting on the biggest stage!  Shout out to Connor and Marco! 

We also have three shooters that have a season average above 20 which earns them the right to go to the National Competition in Mason, MI on July 11. This will be an amazing experience and we are so excited and proud of Bradley, Porter and Keyton. 

I am excited and humbled. Every time I get to work with these kids and their parents. I know I speak for all the coaches when I say that we are proud of every one of our shooters and can’t wait for the Fall Season to start! 

Pull!!!
