CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. --

Marines participated in a recreational shooting tournament during the 2014 USAA Commanding General’s Cup at the Base Skeet and Trap Range, here, Aug 20-22.

More than 30 three to four man teams competed in trap shooting, where clay targets, commonly known as pigeons, are hurled from a launcher and in skeet shooting, where two targets are pitched in an intersecting pattern in front of the shooter.
