My name is Brady Plattner and I graduated from Big Lake High school this year. My biggest accomplishments are in my trap shooting career which started when I was in 7th grade. I was able to join the high school team and have been shooting multiple days every single week in the spring, summer, fall and some winters. Practicing and shooting about 110 Rounds of trap a year. Out of all of my accomplishments this year, my senior year, I accomplished my biggest goal I could have since 8th grade and that was to place in the top 10 people in the state. I accomplished that goal this year by placing number 1 in the state for the high school trap shooting league with a 24.9 average breaking 249 out of 250 clays.
