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. The Board of Directors and Officers are committed to serve the shooters of Ohio and their gun clubs. Recently, the OSTA and the ATA have had some differences. It is the hope of the OSTA that the ATA will begin listening to it’s State Delegates and their membership,and resolve the many issues that are threatening to damage this wonderful sport.
