Participation Up Again at Skeet and Sporting Clays Nationals





Youth shooting teams from 10 states earned national honors, trophies and scholarship awards this weekend at NSSF's Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) National Skeet and Sporting Clays Championships. The two-day tournament, held at Rochester Brooks International Trap and Skeet Club in Rush, N.Y., was the largest skeet and sporting clays championship in SCTP history. Eighteen states were represented with 217 youngsters competing in skeet and 172 in sporting clays. In both shotgun disciplines, competition was staged in four divisions based on shooting experience and school grade. "The talent is so extraordinary, it's easy to forget how young these athletes are," said Zach Snow of NSSF, national coordinator of SCTP. "We saw a number of world-class shooters in the making, and a few who are already there." For example, in skeet, 31 youngsters hit 190 or more targets out of 200. Five shooters posted scores of 197 or better. Across the country, more than 8,000 students are now active in SCTP skeet, sporting clays and trap, which Snow credited to "our incredible volunteer coaches and state directors who are making it all happen now in 41 states. And it's a testimony to growing numbers of parents who've begun to see and appreciate what shooting sports add to the lives of their sons and daughters."
