Conservation officers have long supported youth shooting activities, and they observe firsthand the ethical influence that hunter education and programs like this are having on young participants. Each year, officers from across the state volunteer to assist at the Cornhusker Trapshoot. Conservation officers have helped make the shoot run smoothly, safely and in a sporting manner for four decades. Look at Shoot History Dave Wells, of Norfolk, founded the Nationwide Championship Cornhusker Trapshoot in 1970, as a dual meet between Northeastern College and Chadron State College. The high school division was added in 1972. Attendance continued to climb, and the shoot expanded to two days in 1975. That year, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission became a sponsor of the event, with Wells as shoot director, and the annual Cornhusker Cup was initiated. By 1976, the shoot had become nationwide in scope and moved to Doniphan. The program was expanded to three days in 1977, and the junior high division was added in 1978. Some 671 shooters competed in the 10th Anniversary Cornhusker in 1979. In 1987, Wells announced his retirement as director. The Game and Parks Commission assumed control of the event, naming Rocky Hoffmann as shoot director. Hoffmann was involved with the event for 35 years, beginning in 1974 until his retirement in 2010. Terry Brentzel came on board in 2010 as the assistant director. He continues to be the director of the shoot, carrying on a great tradition. Dave's 18 years of dedication to the tournament made its mark on the future of trapshooting, and the NGPC continues the tradition on which the Cornhusker was established. Record attentence has occurred for the past ten years. Golf Carts, Bikes, ATVs, etc. Due to the increased number of shooters and their families, safety concerns/liability issures, and overall increasing pedestrian traffic, during the Cornhusker School Shoot, the Nebraska Trapshooting Association in coordination with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission have determined that: All motorized golf carts, bikes, all-terrain-vehicles, etc. will NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE, in any capacity, on the NTA shooting facility during the entire week of the Cornhusker School Shoot. This rule does not apply to motorized wheel chair transportation and vehicles used by NTA and Game and Parks shoot management. Please leave these vehicles at home. Private vehicles may not park in signed, individually dedicated parking areas. This includes shoot management parking spaces directly behind (south) of the clubhouse marked for DIRECTORS or in any VENDOR operating area. 14
