Whitetails Unlimited has granted $399,381 to 195 youth shooting trap shooting organizations over the last fiscal year. The majority of the funds expended went to high school trap shooting teams that participate in the USA Clay Target League and the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP).

Trap shooting has become one of the fastest growing high school sports in the nation. One of Whitetails Unlimited’s four mission programs, the Staying on Target Program, focuses on getting more youth introduced into shooting firearms and archery. The grants were used to offset the cost of ammunition and clay targets, as well as some travel related expenses for teams that attended regional and national competitions.
