September Trapshoot a Success for Paulding FFA

By: Vivienne Myers, Reporter-Paulding FFA

On Saturday, September 27th, seven Paulding FFA members came out to participate in the annual trapshoot at the Paulding Fish and Game Center. 

This was the first trapshoot of the school year. Troy Zeller with the Paulding Fish and Game club went over safety and the rules of the event with members before they got their equipment on.  

Contestants grabbed ear plugs, safety glasses, and their firearms to compete in the contest. They then went out to the range. At the range, contestants are then separated into different squads where they will rotate through 5 different shooting positions from there on out shooting 25 clays per group. 

The goal of trapshoot is to shoot as many clay pigeons accurately as possible. Members competing were Remington Boroff, Mackenzie Leatherman, Lily Leatherman, Harley Troyer, Blake Trausch, Owen Workman and Nolan Schlatter. Remington Boroff won the plaque shooting a 18 our 25 and Mackenzie coming in 2nd with a score of 15 out of 25. 

We also had several members and parents come out to watch the shoot and encourage our members who were competing.  Our next Trapshoot is Oct 25th at 11:30am We would like to thank the Fish and Game Club and its members for all their help and support for the Paulding FFA program.
