Welcome to Riverdale Trap Team!
Welcome to the Riverdale High School Trap Team
Trapshooting is one of the three major disciplines of competitive clay pigeon shooting. Trapshooting is typically shot with a 12 gauge shotgun, but a 20 gauge shotgun may be used. Trapshooting has been a sport since the late 18th century. Many colleges have trapshooting teams.
We encourage both males and females to participate in the team. Just show up to a practice to learn more.
