The Shooting Sports Club at North Central Missouri College wrapped up its fall season by hosting a trap shoot competition at the Trenton Trap & Skeet Range against Northwest Missouri State University’s trapshooting club. The event consisted of 50 targets from the 16- yard line, 25 targets based on the shooter’s handicapped score, and overall total hit. Each team had ten shooters compete.
NCMC’s top five shooters from the 16-yard line shot a total of 201/250 while the total for Northwest’s top five shooters was 214/250. The winner from the 16-yard line as well as the overall total hit including handicap was Wyatt Ellis from Northwest with scores of 48/50 and 67/75. NCMC’s top shooter was Gannon Shatto with scores of 46/50 and 64/75.
“This event concluded our club’s busiest semester to date by competing in three intercollegiate events. Student interest in the club continues to grow,” stated Jason Helton, co-advisor of the NCMC Shooting Sports Club. “NCMC’s Club would like to thank Dick Thompson from the Trenton Trap & Skeet Range for the extra hours he spends each semester at the range allowing club members to practice and host events such as this one.”
