Trap and Skeet
Welcome to Panthers Trap and Skeet!
PACT Charter School has been a proud Minnesota High School Clay Target League member since early 2015. Each year participation has grown as interest in shooting sports has spread across the country. The League’s co-ed and adaptive nature are key attractions to high schools in Minnesota. The League is fully Title IX compliant, with male and female athletes competing on the same team. Additionally, it’s an ‘adaptive’ sport, which allows students with physical disabilities to take part. Minnesota had nearly 12,000 students from 349 high schools participate in the spring 2018 season.
