The World's Largest Shooting Sport Event

In the latest installment of Guns.com's Select Fire, we hit the road to visit America's fastest-growing school sport.

The USA Clay Target League this summer has nearly 16,000 high school athletes from across the country participating in state tournaments and championship events. No less than 47 events collectively totaling 62 days of individual and team competition were held in June alone across the nation and the largest of these was the Minnesota Trap Shooting Championship in Alexandria -- which for the record is the world’s largest clay target shooting sport event-- with over 6,500 student-athletes in 300 high school teams taking the field over the course of nine full days of competition.

We visited Alexandria this year to sit in on a day of events and were impressed with what we saw.
