Shooting trap a now the fastest-growing sport in U.S. high schools. The sport is becoming increasingly popular in Minnesota high schools, and has recently been recognized in North Dakota and Wisconsin high schools.
The Minnesota State High School Clay Target League championship is the biggest shooting sport event in the world, according to Esme Deprez of Bloomberg. During its inception in 2009, the championship only had 30 shooters. This year, there were more than 5,000 shooters, 20,000 spectators, as well as sponsors like SKB Shotguns and Benelli Armi SpA.
Deprez said vendors like Browning sales agent Dusty Minke could see potential customers wherever he looks.
