16 PULLUSA MAGAZINE SUMMER 2025 THE LEAD R A NGE ROV ER T radition meets innovation at Prince George's County Trap and Skeet Center. With decades of history and a clear vision for the future, PGCTSC stands as a pillar in both recreational and competitive shooting sports—and as a force for student and youth development. "At our club, we believe in more than just hitting targets," said facility manager Chen Sun, who has been with the center for more than 25 years. "We believe in building char- acter, confidence, and community." Just 12.5 miles from the U.S. Capitol, PGCTSC offers 110 acres of premier shotgun sports facilities. O w n e d a n d o p e r a t e d b y t h e M a r y - land-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), the center was established in the 1970s. "The facility has really evolved since the beginning," said Chen. " When I start- ed as a field attendant, I never imagined I 'd o n e d a y b e h e l p i n g r u n o n e o f t h e most respected clay shooting facilities in the region." WORLD-CLASS FACILITIES PGCTSC has so much to offer: • 8 Trap Fields • 13 Skeet Fields • Wobble Trap • International Skeet and Trap • 5-Stand • 22-Station Sporting Clays Course "All our shooting areas are fully wheel- chair accessible," Chen said. "That's some- thing we take real pride in—making sure every shooter can participate regardless of mobility." The site also features a fully stocked pro shop, a trophy room in the clubhouse, a n d a s p a c i o u s o u t d o o r p a v i l i o n — ideal for events, team gatherings, and award ceremonies. LEADING WITH PASSION C h e n 's c o m m i t m e n t t o c l a y t a r g e t sports is deeply personal. A competitive shooter himself, he has dedicated his career to fostering a safe and inclusive shooting community. "My greatest reward is seeing kids we taught come back years later," said Chen. "They're still active in clay target sports, and now they 're passing that passion on to the next generation." V I S I T O U R WEB S I T E F O R M O R E L E AG U E N E WS A N D I N F O!
