The Cyclones Spring Trap Team is formed and ready to go for the season! The spring trap shooting season got underway March 23, and will run through May 27. The state tournament is set for May 31, with nationals scheduled July 8–12.
New members will be accepted in the fall so they can train and complete orientation in better weather.
To join the trap team in the fall, students must complete either hunter safety training or an online SAFE course through the National Rifle Association. Students must have access to their own gun, as the team does not provide them, and must supply their own ammunition. To join, students must attend the team orientation meeting in August, complete all behavior agreements and obtain parent permission. Students must also follow all eligibility rules, the same as other sports.
Trap is both a team and individual sport focused on safety, skill and fun.
