Brayden Morris

I am 16 years old from Hohenwald, Tennessee. I currently attend the General Assembly Academy – Choice Homeschool as a Junior. I decided to give trapshooting a try after watching my older brother shoot on the local SCTP team. This decision has rewarded me with many new friends and opportunities. I knew that setting goals would be vital to having a successful shooting career. In attaining these goals, one of my biggest struggles was cross-eye dominance and finding ways to overcome it.

Some of my proudest accomplishments include winning the 2600 HOA as Sub Junior at the 2019 Grand American, reaching the 27-yard line at the 2020 Kentucky State Shoot, and shooting my first 100 in Doubles in Arkansas in 2019.

My words of encouragement to others are to never give up and expect the unexpected. I also would like to thank my family for the many sacrifices and continuing support they give every day, especially during our travels. A huge thank you to my parents for purchasing the Kolar trap combo for me as it is the ultimate competition shotgun.
