This past weekend, 24 athletes from the Greater Latrobe Clay Target Team traveled to Elysburg, Pennsylvania, to compete in the 2026 State Trap Shooting Tournament.

It was a beautiful day for competition, and we were center stage, shooting on fields located right in the middle of the range! Our team tent and flag display looked fantastic, and our sponsors banner proudly showcased the businesses that support our program. Our new gun rack was also a definite crowd favorite, drawing compliments from competitors and spectators alike.
The day started off a little chilly, but we warmed everyone up with a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, fresh fruit, and juice. A huge thank you to our grill masters, ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐บ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต and ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป, for cooking up everything!
