The Shooting Sports Club at North Central Missouri College kicked off its new season on October 2, 2024, by hosting a trap shoot competition at the Trenton Trap & Skeet Range. The Trapshooting Club at Northwest Missouri State University brought one squad of participants to the contest. The event consisted of 100 targets from the 16-yard line.
NCMC’s top squad of five shooters hit a total of 422 targets, while the total for Northwest’s squad was 397. The individual winner and top shooter for the highest total targets hit was Caden Hill from Northwest, who shot 97/100. NCMC’s overall high-score shooter was Milo Costner, with 94/100.
“This semester’s team is a fun group and a good mix of returning and new members,” noted Jason Helton, co-advisor of the NCMC Shooting Sports Club. “We want to thank Dick Thompson and the members of the Trenton Trap & Skeet Range for their help during the season and for helping us host this event.”
The next event for the NCMC club is a planned trip to Maryville on October 23 for an event at the Mozingo Outdoor Education Recreation Area Trap Range.
