There were 32 complete squads in this championship from across Arkansas, 20 of these squads were in the senior division. Shooting in this State Championship (SCTP) has qualified our teams (AAA & AA) to compete for the SCTP National Championship at the World Shooting & Recreational Complex (WSRC) in Sparta, Illinois on August 6-7, 2007. This will be the first year for Arkansas to have a team to shoot for their state at the WSRC in Sparta. This will be for the SCTP National Championship. The discipline of Trap 200 16 yard targets will be shot. I am proud of our parents, sponsors, and kids for the dedication it takes to get to this level in such a short period of time. This is an honor for our kids to represent Arkansas as well as Harrisburg at the National level."
