Charity Begins at the Trap Range

The Rockville (Maryland.) Chapter Santa Shooters Holiday Trap Squad pose for a photo "special op" with Marine reservists from the Toys for Tots program.

Shoot on Sunday, Give on Monday
The Rockville (Maryland) Chapter has been using a series of weekend trapshoots to raise money for charity. Chapter members enjoy recreational shooting, friendship, and good food—and the opportunity to help others in need. Annual charity events included shoots for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Marine Corps' Toys for Tots holiday toy drive.

The chapter’s Trap Shoot for the Cure raises money annually for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. In December, the Toys for Tots benefit shoot collects hundreds of toys to be donated to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves Toys for Tots program.
