Trap and Skeet 2020 Highlights
Approximately 175,000 clay targets are thrown by the trap and skeet machines each year on MVSA’s 2 primary trap/skeet overlay fields. Members also bring their own targets and practice on the trap practice field #3.
Trapshooting makes up 80% of the clay targets thrown at MVSA. The popularity of trapshooting is sustained by programs such as AYSSP (Arkansas Youth Shooting Sports Program) sponsored by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Trapshooting continues to be a popular activity for youth in the Garland County 4H program.
The trapshooting year (season) runs from September through August and operates under the rules of the ATA (Amateur Trapshooting Association). MVSA held 12 tournaments and 1 league during the 2020 season with an average of 20 shooters at each tournament. 115 individual shooters registered a total of 47,625 targets at these tournaments in the 2020 season.
MVSA was awarded a grant from the ATA gun club fund to expand the trap tournament capacity in 2021.
