PVA
National Wheelchair Games

Trapshooting debuted as an event in the National Wheelchair games at Sportsman's Gun and Reel Club in Cleveland, Ohio (Lorain). These American Heroes participated in a full 100 bird ATA registered style event. Most had never shot at a clay target and proceeded to amaze the coaches and audience with their athletic abilities. Every contestant enjoyed the event, but the volunteer club members enjoyed it even more. It was great inspiration for all. I'm confident we'll see many who were introduced to trap this day on the firing line in the near future... many got hooked on the sport. Yesssss!

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are some. Hope you enjoy!
