‘You’ve got to stay focused’ — More than 1,000 kids from across Texas are competing in rodeo’s Junior Shoot-Out
When Nathan Kerth was in fourth grade, a friend started participating in shooting competitions and encouraged him to do the same.The 18-year-old from College Station has been competing for nine years. This week, he was one of more than 1,000 4H and FFA members from across the state who brought their shotguns to the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Junior Shoot-Out to compete for scholarships and prizes.Mental strength is an important skill in competitive shooting, Kerth said.
Kids can compete for scholarships in trap, modified trap and sporting clays events. All three require competitors to use shotguns to shoot at clay targets propelled into the air, but each event has its own rules. Scholarships will be awarded Sunday. The funds can be used at an accredited Texas college or university or an accredited, recognized agricultural or natural resources vocational or technical training school in Texas.
“It’s a way to ensure that all the kids get the ability to be able to come out here and do this and just enjoy it as much as we have,” Lawson said. “It’s a way to give back not only to the youth of Texas, but to the San Antonio Stock Show for what they’ve provided our daughter.”‘Cowboy tradition alive’: Trail riders mount up and take the scenic route to San Antonio for rodeo
