Aiming to keep trap shooting on campus alive

In 2017, the University of Idaho trap shooting club only had five members. Most clubs might have withered away due to such numbers, but the club is still going strong today, currently having 27 members.

Trap shooting is a competitive shooting event, popular with many people in the Midwest, where a person shoots at clay pigeons launched in the air from different positions with a shotgun. Their objective is to shoot the clay pigeon in the air before it reaches a certain point.

Trap shooting requires skill, a fast trigger finger, keen eyesight and a steady mind to be successful.
