San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo Junior Trap Shoot

San Angelo Inaugural 2013 Junior Trap Shoot

For the first time in San Angelo, Texas FFA and 4H students alike get a chance to post their name on the first line of the record books at one of the largest stock shows in the nation as the "First" San Angelo Trapshooting Champion.   Taking place on Feb 15th, 2013 at the San Angelo Claybird Range (sanangeloclays.com) 12 miles West of San Angelo, TX on HWY 67.   It's watching a focused competitor stand on the field and match his or her skills against their competition.  When these students take the line it is ONE shotgun and ONE well aimed shell that determines a "Hit" or "Lost" claybird.  At the end of 50 claybirds, the competitor with the best score wins.  In an event where the student's talent and skills determines their own success, it is not unusual to see the event's champion using the most basic of competition tools that has been handed down in the family to a younger generation.  Come rain, snow, sleet, or anything short of thunder and lightning,  these shooters will face the elements and stand on station to compete for the very first buckle and  prizes to be awarded at the 2013 San Angelo Junior Trapshoot.  
 
Sponsor money donated to this first event will be conveyed to the contestants as premium prizes to further the growth of shooting sports competition.  If you wish to enter, download the PDF rules and entry forms for this event.  Should you have any questions about sponsorship, rules, or entry,  please email tom@sanangelorodeo.com .
