The Rules of Trapshooting
I think it was Yogi Berra that said "Rules is rules", referring, of course, to baseball.

Trapshooting, like baseball, has a lot of rules, some
"official", some more custom and courtesy. The official rules of ATA "registered" trapshooting can
be seen by clicking here. As important are the unofficial rules, the "etiquette" of trapshooting. In a recent
column in Trap and Field Magazine, Edie Fleeman, ATA's Youth Development Director, summarized
the major points of proper trapshooting etiquette. Click here to see them.

2011 Delaware State Shoot

The 2011 Delaware State Shoot is only 51 weeks away - do you have all the
