One year after not having any competitions due to the pandemic, the Luxemburg-Casco High School trapshooting team started their third year of competition this week after beginning the program in 2018.  Instructor Dale Simonar says interest in the club sport has grown in the area as schools from Algoma, Kewaunee, and Southern Door have formed teams this year.

Simonar adds that statewide over 100 schools are participating in the trap shooting competitions.  Boys and girls who hold a hunter safety card are allowed to compete by taking 25 shots each at clay pigeons.  The Luxemburg-Casco trapshooting team of 38 competitors will shoot weekly at the Luxemburg Sportsman Club and submit scores to the Wisconsin Trapshooting Association.  The state competition will be held in Nekoosa June 12-13.  The program is intended to teach and introduce youth to the sport of trapshooting and help them gain the necessary knowledge and skills to become responsible shooters.
