Eight members of the Pleasanton Trapshooting Team traveled to Mason, Mich., last week to compete in the USA Clay Target League National Championship. Five members participated in the team event, and all eight competed individually. The team was among 264 qualified teams competing for a national title.

On Friday morning, the team got off to a solid start, shooting 232 out of 250 in the first sub-event. However, the afternoon round proved more challenging, with a score of 223 out of 250, bringing their total to 455—just shy of the 465-cutoff needed to qualify for Sunday’s finals. Despite the tough competition, the team placed 135th out of 240 teams that completed the event. Weather also played a role as the team shot in the rain and dealt with a 30-minute lightning delay forcing the team off the line mid-round. Team event shooters included Hunter Bowman, Ryan Broyles, Trenton Broyles, Garrett Conley, and Haelie Wallace.

“Although they didn’t achieve their goal of making the finals, we are proud of their performance in adverse conditions,” said Coach Jesse Secrest.
