Random Images From Minnesota’s 2016 State High School Clay Target Championship

I wanted to get these pictures posted up for a good friend of mine, Todd Rost. As you may have heard, high school clay target competition has become one of the fastest growing high school sports in the nation. That’s incredible, and certainly a big positive for the shooting sports. And with over 7,000 Minnesota student athletes competing in various categories, it took the entire week of June 14–21, 2016, to hold the competition in Alexandria, Minnesota.

The following pictures are random shots showing the Faribault Bethlehem Academy team getting their chance on the big shooting stage. I hope this gives you a feel for what it was like to be there from opening ceremony singing the National Anthem all the way to the competitors in serious action.

Random Sights From The 2014 Minnesota State High School Clay Target League Championship

Wow! Surprised to see it has been over two months since I last posted to this blog. Sorry about that. Life has pulled me in some different directions, which I will explain sometime soon. In the meantime, I have a little photo display from last Friday up at the 2014 Minnesota State High School Clay Target League Championship at Alexandria, Minnesota.

As one of the fastest-growing high school sports in Minnesota, a total of 3,948 high school athletes participated in this 5–day shooting event. In fact, it has grown rapidly to have such significance that even Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton showed up last Friday to visit. Governor Dayton said, “… this place is just filled with parents and coaches and kids who are learning something they can do for the rest of their life and do responsibly.” Indeed they are, Governor!

I was not able to attend this fun event, but my close friend, Todd Rost, was one of the team coaches for Faribault Bethleham Academy and wanted to share these images with the blog’s readers. Check out the fun and competition:
