A SALUTE TO WOMEN IN TRAPSHOOTING

From Annie Oakley and Plinky Topperwein to Nora Martin Ross and Debbie Ohye Neilson. Our salute to women in trapshooting. Over the long history of trapshooting women have played a vital role in the development and history of our sport. The photographs below show just a fraction of these wonderful ladies. Today there are more women shooters than ever before. There are 25 women enshrined in the Trapshooting Hall of Fame.
