ANOKA, Minnesota – June 9, 2025 – Federal Ammunition, an industry leader in supporting youth sport shooting, renews its commitment by returning as a Platinum Level Sponsor of Minnesota's prestigious 2025 Trap Shooting Championships. The event, led by the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League, will be held from June 9 to 17 at the Alexandria Shooting Park in Alexandria, Minnesota.

“This event is one of the largest in the world and in our backyard,” said Jon Zinnel, Federal’s Director of Conservation and Youth Shooting Sports. “Federal is proud to continue its support and wishes all local shooters good luck. We also want to give a big shout-out to all the parents, coaches, and others who supported these athletes in their sport. We’ve backed shooting sports programs across the country for decades, and it’s wonderful to join these athletes in our home state and celebrate their successes.”

All high school teams and athletes compete as either Novice, Junior Varsity, or Varsity on a single, designated day against competitive teams of similar sizes. An athlete’s 100-target score is used for both individual and team competitions. With more than 350 teams featuring over 8,000 student-athletes, this nine-day event is exciting to watch.

“Our employees will be at the championship event to answer any questions attendees may have about our products and programs and share with them some new products like our Master Class shotshell line that just launched in early 2025,” continued Zinnel. “We will also have some great branded gear for sale to showcase our shooting sports heritage and Minnesota state pride.”
