Team Kolar Champions / Trap

Jacob Duren

My name is Jacob Duren, and I am 18 years old. I live in a rural area in southern middle Tennessee. I began trapshooting in the Spring of 2017 as a founding member of the Wayne County 4-H/AIM Shooting Sports Team. My hometown did not have a Shooting Team, so my parents and a friend’s father trained as coaches to create a Shooting Sports Team for all youth. As my shooting experience grew, I was able to take on the responsibility of mentoring new and younger shooters as a 4-H Junior Leader on our team.

Currently, I am volunteering with the construction of a trap and skeet range in my hometown. Our goal is to make trap and skeet shooting more accessible to the local youth and their families and to help grow the sport I love for years to come in my community. What I find most rewarding about ATA/AIM trapshooting, as a sport, is the opportunity to develop friendships and relationships with fellow trapshooters of all ages.
