This fall the Gallatin FFA Chapter was able to add trap shooting to the list of activities provided to members. The trap shooting team is coached by FFA advisor Amy Holder.

The Gallatin chapter qualified for two squads with their 12 participating members. The captain of the A Squad was Ethan Adkison, who has been in the league’s top three multiple times. Squad B captain was Libby Endicott, who has been one of the top female shooters twice this season.
Each member must provide their own shotgun and sometimes their own ammo for practices and meets. All of the Gallatin team members shoot a 12 gauge. The team has been fortunate enough to receive three monetary donations and ammo during this season. In the Area II Trap League there are seven schools involved in the league with 22 squads shooting. Squad A was 5th overall in October and 3rd overall in November. B squad’s best finish was 8th and that occurred in November. The team has been practicing and shooting at meets in Trenton at their trap and skeet range.
Dan Lockridge from Gallatin was instrumental in helping to advocate for the chapter to have a team.
