Parents we hope to see you this year

Posted On: 02-01-2022

I am so amazed but not surprised at how this sport is supported by parents and family members. Every event I go to I see adults walking with their kids and being there for them throughout the event.  I know this is really the culmination of all the other supportive things you do all year, but being at events is wonderful.

This year the Missouri Youth Sport Shooting Alliance will host a number of events for you to attend.  We always begin the year with our Spring Break Em’s held locally throughout the state.  This year we have 11 locations for you to participate.  Please check our webpage for the events calendar and contact information.  At this point we have:

St. Louis Skeet and Trap – March 26

MTA – April 2

Ozark – April 2

KCTA – April 9

Bosco’s – April 16

Poplar Bluff – April 16

Quincy Gun Club – April 23

Prairie Grove – March 19

Jefferson City Sportsmen’s Club – TBD

Lake Lotawana – April 2

Rover – March 26

Lots of great nearby opportunities to shoot and have fun. Contact information for all venues is on our events page.

We follow the Spring Break Em events with the annual Paul Larsen Memorial Tournament held at the Missouri Trap Association in Linn Creek on April 30, 2022.  This is event is co-hosted by the Missouri Department of Conservation.  Paul Larsen perhaps was more than an avid trap shooter having shot over 150,000 registered ATA targets in his lifetime.  He is a Missouri Trap Association Hall of Fame member. 

On October 8, 2022 MYSSA will host the annual Fall Classic at MTA.  Last year was a great event with the inclusion of sporting clays.  We are looking have another great turnout.
