2007 Youth Program
STATE SCTP CHAMPIONS

Missoula was the sight for the 113th Montana State Trap Shoot tournament and thanks to our coaches and members, twenty kids of the HTC Youth Program were able to participate in the Scholastic Clay Target Program.

The kids shot in teams based on their age which gave us one Varsity team, two Jr. Varsity teams and one Intermediate team. Our teams competed with teams from all over Montana with our Varsity team taking the 2007 State SCTP Championship!

Each team had to compete by shooting 100-16yd targets on Saturday and another 100 on Sunday for a combined two-day team score. The weekend was filled with many "highs & lows" to the competition including getting up before dawn, extreme heat, and a shooting background very different from ours but all had fun, practiced what they had learned at league and did their home club proud.

The Varsity team comprised of Mike "Gus" McBride, Troy Hewitt Jr., Fritz Robinson, Dustin Weidenkeller and Ryan Bogdon finished the competition with a 874 x 1000 targets to take the championship by five targets!
