Small Town Big Aim

Freeman’s trap shooting program is a story of small-town determination with big results. What started in 1993 as a student-led effort has grown into a thriving, multi-generational tradition built on teamwork, community support, and a shared passion for the sport. Today’s team continues to honor that legacy while competing at a high level and bringing the community together.
