My Daughter joined a trap team for Armstrong High school.
She is shooting ok but was wondering if anyone out there could give a lesson or two. :fudd:

Been a long time,But what area you in? If yer close and want to drive out I may help?What's she shootin? Tell you what, with real early begingers a  Bow&arrows Flu Flu's shooting at a moving target can help so much to get the Idea of leading a target slingshots also. Just to see the moving target and the projectile and how to make em meet, Why do you think she needs coaching?
 I thought it great that Mn schools took up this program,The archery one also.Looks as tho the trap took the cake above archery!

I'd be happy to give lessons.
I worked at a gun club, and went to state a few times.
My kids have been brought up on shooting....

But..... you'd have to come up here. I don't travel to the cities much.

Many of the 26 students are struggling. Jamie my Daughter is one of three girls on the team of 26 just too many students. She really wants to be good at this so Dad is reaching out for Help she is more willing to take advise from others over Mom and Dad teenagers.

Where are you guys located?
My Daughter has been shooting bow for three years now very good at it got her first buck last fall.
Any tips I can pick up to maybe help others out would be worth the drive we are shooting every Sunday at the metro Gun club in Blain.
I know both coaches have asked that if I can get something lined up they would be interest in being a fly on the wall to pick up any tips they can.

Thank's for the quick response guys

It has been a High School Sport for a couple years now.   Whenever it starts, the leagues generally fill up in an instant with people on the waiting list.  Our local Chapter of MDHA (Sherburne County Swampbucks) has helped support the Big Lake, Becker and Zimmerman High School Trap Leagues.

national sporting clays has a certification that an instructor can get. I would call around to some of the local clubs by you.. I would bet there would be someone at the club that coaches.. and most likely for a highschool team you could get a few volunteers.   my daughter just expressed an interest in doing this also. so we're going to spend this summer getting some range time

   A friend of mine is a Blaine coach.   I saw him today and he was on his way to the club for practice.  I asked if he would help out a friend's daughter and said bring her up.  Send me a pm if you want some contact info.
