Trap Shooting Lessons

Below are a series of trap shooting lessons that are to be worked on weekly during the month of March. Athletes should work on a new lesson each week. 

Athletes are responsible for understanding the content of each lesson and implementing each lesson into their weekly gun mount routine beginning the first week of March. Gun Mount Routines should be performed two to three times a week. 

It is the head coaches expectation that each club member complete a minimum of the first five lessons prior to the first official outdoor practice (April).

*** There is NO substitute for REPETITION!

The lessons also serve as a great source for review or for correcting concerns regarding shooting form and trap shooting knowledge.
