Each year, Browning is proud to be a part of one of the greatest shooting events in the world: the Grand American World Trapshooting Championships. Not only is it the gathering place for the best in American trapshooting, it's non-stop fun with people to meet, events to attend and much more. It's wonderful to be surrounded by people who love and enjoy the shooting sports as much as you do. For Browning, it is a place to learn. A laboratory of trap shooting ideas, suggestions and emerging trends. Without the flow of ideas found at the Grand, the sport we love would be something less. As it is each year, the best shooters continue to have the best tools to do their best shooting.

The ATA serves as the faithful protector of the sport of trapshooting. As the largest clay target shooting organization in the world, the ATA governs the sport's rules and regulations and seeks ways to further enhance the sport and increase participation.

The ATA was founded in 1900 as the American Trapshooting Association and later changed to the Amateur Trapshooting Association in 1923. A Board of Directors, composed of state and provincial delegates, governs all ATA policy matters. The Executive Committee, which is comprised of one representative from each of the five Zones, provides stewardship for the association throughout the year. The organization's day-to-day business is guided by an Executive Director and a team of professionals at the national headquarters in Sparta, Illinois.

Annually, ATA members participate in over 6,000 registered tournaments and shoot at more than 60 million targets. With more than 900 gun clubs affiliated with the ATA you can find registered shooting just about anywhere. 

The ATA Homegrounds, located in Sparta, Illinois, is also home to the Grand American World Trapshooting Championships each August. This annual event draws nearly 4,000 competitors and showcases some of the best shooting talent in the world!
