We wanted to show people that guns and kids could coexist in a very positive atmosphere. That atmosphere, according to Fox, is found within the sport of trapshooting, which is the shooting of clay pigeons sprung from a trap and into the air. The ATA is an organization that sponsors competitive shooting throughout the country, which Fox and his son travel to frequently. Trophies aren't the only rewards, though. Fox and his son were driving past one of the trapshooting clubs a few years ago, and, since both were avid hunters, they decided to give it a try.
Every match has a specific set of rules in gun handling.
You aren't even allowed to load the weapon until right before you shoot. Any violation of the rules means instant expulsion from the membership. Each event lasts for 100 rounds from a trapshooting firearm, which is used against the clay pigeons. Shooting starts from 16 yards away, with five targets spread in a semicircle from left to right. As shooting proceeds, the shooter is moved back from the target in 1-yard increments until he or she reaches a maximum range of 25 yards.
