A record 1,811 shooters, including 643 in junior high, registered for the three-day trapshoot, where safety is the top concern. All participants must be certified in hunter education.

“The kids have been shooting in their conferences for the last six weeks,” said Terry Brentzel, co-shoot director. “With six weeks of supervision by coaches and parents, they know safety is the No. 1 priority on the range. In 41 years here, there never has been an accident.”
