Sport Shooting
More than 19 million Americans safely participate in target shooting. Their numbers break out into subsets of people who enjoy shooting handguns, shotguns and rifles. Add special-interest shooters such as muzzle loader enthusiasts, and the total number of active shooters jumps even higher.
Target shooting varies from leisurely hobbyists to competitive local leagues and from collegiate athletics to the world stage of the Olympic games. As the trade association for the firearms, hunting and recreational shooting industry, the National Shooting Sports Foundation develops programs designed to ensure the future of shooting.
In the Sarasota area, there are several skeet and trap shooting ranges, for example, the Manatee Gun & Archery Sports Club in Bradenton, the Take Aim Gun Range in Sarasota and
Sarasota Trap Skeet and Clays in Nokomis, Florida
