High Schoolers Shoot Skeet

Shooters called for targets and raised their gun barrels. Observers tilted their heads back, their eyes following the clay shooters' goals sailing through the air, as they anticipated the popping noise that followed each trigger pull. The sights and sounds Aug. 26 at Coeur d'Alene Skeet and Trap Club were not unusual, but there was something unique about the shooting going on that day. It was the first Idaho student shooting championship, part of the Scholastic Clay Target Shooting Program, with newly formed teams from two Coeur d'Alene high schools participating. “We started because parents came to us because their kids are shooters and they wanted a club,” said Kiersten Kerr, a media specialist at Coeur d'Alene High School and one of the Viking Trap and Skeet Club advisers. “We promote safety and sportsmanship”/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press.
