The Big Ten Network

The Purdue Trap and Skeet Club had a cool experience happen to them this Thursday; they were featured on the Big Ten Network. The network apparently does a tailgate special on Fridays that features two Big Ten schools and shows what the schools do before a big game and the atmosphere of the school. They also pick two unique clubs or activities that the schools offer and do a short segment about them. They came out and had all there video equipment and you could tell that these guys had not been around guns too much.

Before the network arrived the club had displayed all of our trophies and awards and had hung a banner showing the club name and the website. The camera men focused on this display for awhile and then our club president took them out and showed them a little about how to shoot skeet. They went out to station one and our president explained what the order was of shooting station one and then actually shot the birds. Then the announcer from the Big Ten Network got up and shot station one and it started out pretty entertaining because he had no idea what he was doing. Surprisingly enough though he actually hit the high house bird, he then missed the low and hit the high again on doubles.

Unfortunately I do not get the Big Ten Network so I was unable to watch it but I am sure it was very interesting for the people of the club and for others that had never heard of the Purdue Trap and Skeet team. Hopefully this will be just the beginning of the fame for our club as we enter into the collegiate competitions this weekend with the first shoot being in Iowa.
