The YME Trap Team shot in freezing, windy conditions Sunday, April 3rd. As you can see, the shooters are bundled up, but they got their rounds in before the snowfall. They shot very well considering and we are very proud of their determination. Safety is always the first priority so when there is a gun jammed, Head Coach Jeff Berthelsen steps right up to the shooter to figure out the issue. Fix or replace what is needed so the athlete can continue to shoot and finish their round. Athletes are not allowed to leave their stations on the field when there is an issue. All athletes enter and leave the field at the same time in formation.
