THE FIELD C OL L EGE SP O T L IGH T L oyola University Maryland seniors Lucas Bronshteyn and Cooper DiSabato discovered clay target shooting early in their college careers when a friend brought them to the range for the first time. "Cooper and I had a class together and we were both still new learners at the time—we would go probably twice or even three times a week just to practice and get more consistent," Bronshteyn says. "Then we just thought, well, why not just form a group here and actually start competing ? We drafted out our outline of what we were going to do and then we did it."
