Responding to one of the fastest growing youth sporting events in the region, Southern Arkansas University launched trap shooting as a club sport during the fall of 2019. Thanks to generous donors, SAU has the only trap shooting facility located on a public university campus.<\/p>

The SAU team competes in ACUI tournaments, shooting singles, doubles, and sporting clays. SAU\u2019s range currently offers 3 trap shooting fields, but team members are supported in individual efforts to train and represent the institution at competitions in sporting clay events by training off-site for sporting clay competition.<\/p>

SAU complies with Arkansas laws concerning guns on campus. A secure on-campus storage facility is available to trap shooting team members for on-campus gun storage, with extremely limited access and enhanced protective measures. Students will be required to sign a waiver releasing the institution from liability should a breech occur.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
