Which State Hosts the World’s Largest Shooting Sport Event?

Kentucky? California? Illinois? Texas?

Sorry, the correct answer is Minnesota.

Currently, approximately 200 high school teams featuring 7,000 student athletes are competing in the 2016 Trap Shooting Championship at Alexandria Shooting Park in Alexandria, Minnesota.

The dates of the event are June 14-21, and each high school team is assigned a tournament day as determined by their class and conference designation. This allows all teams to complete their competition (Novice, Junior Varsity, and Varsity) on a single day while allowing competition among teams with a similar team size.
