SHOOTING --  Starting Sunday, for the 97th year, clay targets will be vaporized by shotgunners competing in The Spokesman-Review Trapshoot, an eight-week contest with open, women and youth divisions.

The oldest shooting event of its kind in the country pits participants against flying clay targets as well as winter wind, cold and snow as they shoot at their own clubs.

Scores are compiled each week by The Spokesman-Review and posted at spokesman.com/outdoors.
