The clay pigeons were flying over the weekend as 135 of the best high school trap shooters in the state flocked to Tuttle Creek Shooting Park just outside of Manhattan for its third annual Youth Shooting Invitational on Saturday.
Trap shooters came from Rock Creek, Riley County, Blue Valley and Wabaunsee — as well as individuals from Wamego and Manhattan and squads representing 11 other schools around the state. The field was the largest to date.
Riley County’s top squad of the five Falcon teams competing finished third with a 467, led by JW Lister, the top shooter on the day. Lister shot a perfect score of 100.
