On February 24, students of BHS poured into Buffalo Gun club to sign up for the first trap team affiliated with Buffalo High School. After jumping through many hoops and talking with the school board, Buffalo High school now has an official trap team.
Activities director Tom Bauman said, “We are getting a [trap shooting] team this year because we have a lot of good shooters in the school, and [because] a lot of other schools are starting to pick it up.”
Mark and Sally Stevens who were a driving force behind the effort to make a trap team also happen to be coaches. They travel around the U.S.A. and talk and teach at coaching seminars and gun shows.
“We will do our best to make you a better shooter,” said Stevens.
There are also junior coaches Patrick Macnab , Spencer Wilson , Kurt Potter , and Max Hartman on the team. All junior coaches have passed Level One coaching classes that require sixteen hours to complete.
All students planning on shooting for the Buffalo High school trap team must attend BHS and have obtained their Minnesota Firearms Safety Certificate.
To sign up to be on the BHS trapshooting team, you need to go to the Buffalo Gun Club (South East of Target in Buffalo on Highway 55) and register before March 16. A maximum of forty five students can be on the team.
