Ford Pope won the Junior Division Grand Champion buckle with a total of 83 points. William Moore won the Senior Division Reserve Champion buckle with a total of 93 points. James Moore brought home the third-place Senior Division banner with a total of 92 points. Jackson Lenaway earned the fourth-place banner in the Senior Division with a total of 87 points after shooting 20 points in a four-way tiebreaker shootout.

“What I enjoy most about going to trap shoots is the chance to meet new people who enjoy the same sport. It’s also really enjoyable when all the practice pays off and I end up doing well or even winning,” Carter Thomas said.
