Held just outside Washington, this trap, skeet, and sporting clays competition brings together Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle to enjoy a shared American outdoor tradition. This event comes days after the President signed the Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act into law – a bill championed by CSC leaders that is critical for increasing access to the shooting sports. Team Republican – led by Congressman Richard Hudson (NC) - finished with a score of 191; and Team Democrat – led by Congressman Marc Veasey (TX) – tallied up a score of 184. “This annual event provides an opportunity for Members of Congress, regardless of political party, to join together in a nonpartisan manner,” said Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) President Jeff Crane. “Advancing outdoor recreation and conservation are bipartisan issues that everyone can support.” ### Clays Competition Awards **Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus Individual Category** - "Top Gun" Member of Congress: Rep.
