CLUB SPOTLIGHT: CU Shotgun (@cutrapskeetteam)

The Carleton University Trap and Skeet team is one of two firearms related clubs at Carleton University. Known as CU Shotgun, the club is made up of a core group of dedicated students who are interested in becoming more proficient shotgun shooters. CU Shotgun’s aim is to provide students with the opportunity to compete against other Canadian College and University clubs, and hopefully one day to compete internationally. CU Shotgun also aims to introduce new shooters and firearms enthusiasts to the shotgun sports by hosting events and giving the opportunity for individuals to participate in shotgun sports.

The club meets once a week to practice with Coach Dean Herzberg, and individual team members are encouraged to get out to the range on their own as well. In the inaugural competition season for the Canadian University Shooting Federation (CUSF), CU Shotgun had team members finish in First, Second and Third place of the skeet event! This past season the team was preparing hard and team members David Addison and Nathan Byerley were looking very competitive shooting their first 25 clays straight late last winter (congrats!). The team is hoping to continue this momentum into CUSF’s next skeet competition.

CU Shotgun has been an established club at Carleton University since 2015 and thanks to CUSF organizing competitions, CU shotgun now meets the requirements to become a competitive sports club in the Carleton University Athletics Department. With the school year kicking off soon CU Shotgun is excited to get going again with practices, competitions and events as soon as we can do so safely!

“Smashy Smashy!”
