Sutter Youth Shotgun Sweeps US Open

Youth clay programs don't always get the coverage they deserve, but what Sutter just pulled off at the US Open is worth stopping to look at.
"The HOA title is the hardest one to earn — it requires a team to compete across all three disciplines: trap, skeet, and sporting clays."
Anyone who's shot all three in the same day knows how different they are.
