More than 255 shooters from 33 colleges and universities will shoot for a national title in shotgun sports April 10-13 at the National Shooting Complex.
Said Chris Dolnack of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), a major sponsor of the annual championship event, “Our sports don’t have 44,000-seat arenas, but if fans want to see Olympic-style shooting by great college athletes, admission is free.”
The championship will consist of four disciplines including international trap and skeet and American trap and skeet. Competition will be held in men’s, women’s and team divisions. Scholarships and spots on Olympic development teams will be awarded.
