That's a wrap for SCTP Nationals! 6 days of shooting across trap, s***t, sporting clays, super sporting, yardage, trap doubles, s***t doubles, and of course fancy pants demo shotguns. The kids shot extremely well this year and continue to do better and better each year.

The big highlights for each are Hunter with a 99/100 in trap, Josie with a 98/100 in trap, and Reese with a 4th out of 525ish in last competitor standing. New personal bests all around in each discipline and most importantly they had fun and keep wanting to get better.

Another big night for the ACES team at Last Competitor Standing. 700+ kids shoot Anny Oakley style competition from the 27 yard line on trap until there is only one winner. This year Reese made it all the way to 4th!!! That makes 3 out of 4 years an ACES kid has made it to the top 10. Making it that far is a huge accomplishment for the kids. They have been shooting really well all week even in the heat. Super proud of how well this group is doing.

The MN Day of Clays was a huge event this year with 359 shooters and raised over $200K for shooting sports teams. We had a ton of fun and on Josie shot incrediably well winning the long bird competition and ladies high over all. It was an AMAZING day.

Huge thank you to MidwayUSA Foundation for putting on the event and the tremendous support you provide to shooting sports teams. All of the scores can be found at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1LsttqJHPZQsxjyjc4NlrwqRGBPN8C6uPZRjTzho1DDI/htmlview?usp=gmail&pli=1
