MTA Youth Day & AIM Championship (Copy)
The Minnesota Trapshooting Association hosts a special shoot for Minnesota resident youth only on the Monday of the State Shoot week. Youth shooters will be provided reduced-price targets ($TBD/100 plus $3 ATA & $3 MTA daily fees), trophies, and door prizes.
The MTA Youth Day also serves as Minnesota’s AIM Individual and Team Championship day for Singles & Handicap events.
Minnesota Youth Day & AIM Championship Events were held on Tuesday, July 5 2022 in Alexandria, MN. A huge thank you to the 114 youth Singles Event and 33 youth Handicap Event competitors!
In 2021, 125 youth shooters participated in the MTA Youth Day & AIM Championship Singles Event. It poured rain throughout the day! Additionally, 34 shooters bared the weather and shot the Handicap competition. Congratulations to all winners!
For a complete listing of scores from the day click here (note that the AAA designation was given to denote youth shooters who were also AIM members; if a youth shooter has an ‘A’ then they are not AIM members).
Shooters are classified by ATA's AIM age categories--Pre-Sub (11 & under), Sub-Jr (12-14), Junior (15-17), and Junior Gold (18-21). As all targets are ATA registered targets, ATA membership is required. The Minnesota Trapshooting Association provides free ATA membership for each new ATA youth shooter (aged 17 and under). Awards are given for High Gun in each age category, and 1st Place and Runner-Up team awards for each age category.
The Minnesota Youth Shotgun Association runs the Silent & Live Auctions during the Minnesota State Shoot, with 100% of all proceeds directed towards paying for the costs of providing free ATA membership for new youth shooters, as well as subsidizing the half-price targets not only on Monday but throughout the State Shoot week. In 2014 this cost was almost $11,000.
