On August 7, nearly 200 attendees, including Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) staff and representatives from the sportsmen’s conservation community gathered at the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation’s (CSF) annual August Recess Clays Competition outside Washington, DC.
The event included an individual competition in trap, skeet, and sporting clays, as well as an opportunity for beginner shooters to learn about firearm safety from experts and experience the shooting sports.
“On behalf of CSF and the sportsmen’s community across the country, thank you to all of the Congressional staff for all that you do for the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus,” said CSF President Jeff Crane.
Crane continued, “August is National Shooting Sports Month, so today’s event is a great opportunity to celebrate the shooting sports and learn about firearm safety.”
Crane and CSF Board of Directors Member Larry Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation presented trophies to the sharpest shooters of the day:

Studies conducted at both the state and federal level have found that the number of hunters and trappers have been on a generally declining trend over the past several decades. To increase recruitment, retention, and reactivation (R3) of hunters and trappers, which initiative do you think would have the greatest impact?
