They’re competing on 1,795 high school, college, and homeschool teams nationwide, supported by some 10,400 coaches, volunteers, and staff. Not only is the league billed as the safest school sport, citing a record of zero reported injuries in its 23-year history, but athletes of all abilities and genders can participate.

Ammo Control Could Affect Youth Shooting Sports

From Guns.com:

A New York lawmaker is urging the state’s Governor to take a second look at a looming mandatory background check law for ammunition transfers. 

High school trap and clays team coaches, registered with the state as an “Organizational Keeper of Ammunition” for the sake of compliance, received letters earlier this month from the State Police advising them to register with the new NYS NICS office and set up a method of payment for the background check fees – $9 for each firearm transfer and $2.50 for each transfer of ammunition. This is on top of the $.05 per round special excise tax to fund shadowy “gun violence” research plus the 8 percent sales tax on ammo sales that the state already clears.

The non-profit USA High School Clay Target League, which controlled and ran the CASHSCTL, announced this week that it has suspended all operations within California. This includes offering any future seasons for teams to participate in, shutting down the state league’s website and Facebook pages, and halting emails to anyone in the state. Further, student-athletes in California will no longer be eligible to receive college and university recruiting information through the League or be eligible for League scholarships.
