WELCOME!

                                       Welcome to the Ohio State Trapshooting Association (OSTA).
 
The OSTA dedicates itself to promote trapshooting as an enjoyable sport that has a signature of good sportsmanship, conduct, and safety. Since 1887 we have served the needs of Ohio Trapshooters by promoting trapshooting as a wholesome sport enjoyed by people from all walks of life. Families, youths to seniors, men and women participate in trapshooting. It’s an environment that promotes good sportsmanship and conduct.

You can buy a brick to commemorate a special memory like the day you broke your first 100 straight,
or in memory of a special oved one. The possibilities are endless. Please consider buying a brick and
becoming a part of the history of Cardinal Shooting Center. These bricks will last forever so generations
of shooters will be able to view your message.
