FASTEST GROWING HIGH SCHOOL SPORT - TRAP

Trapshooting has been a sport in the US since the 1830s and since 1900 has been an Olympic sport. And yes, originally, the sport used live pigeons (hence clay pigeons).  In Minnesota, there are now 8,600 students taking part in the sport up from 340 in 2010. Wisconsin and North Dakota have also started leagues and another 30 states have inquired about creating programs at their schools. You can read more here. |
