MTA Youth Day - Tuesday, June 30, 2026
The Minnesota Trapshooting Association hosts a special shoot for Minnesota resident youth only on the Tuesday of the State Shoot week. Youth shooters will be provided reduced-price targets ($TBD/100 plus $4 ATA & $4 MTA daily fees), trophies, and door prizes.
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. Additionally, mySA uses the Lewis Classification System to award additional medals to shooters in ‘classes’ for the day, meaning everyone has a chance of taking home an award!

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 2025 this cost was almost $3,000.
