For several years, the Pacific International Trapshooting Association (PITA) has been developing a Y-E-S program to encourage young people to become active in the shooting sports. Y-E-S is a program focusing on providing young persons with a positive experience in the shooting sports, specifically trapshooting.  If you would like more information or want to assist with this program, please contact a member of the committee.

Scholarships are funded by tax-deductible donations directly to Y-E-S, the Silent Auction at the Grand Pacific, and a blanket raffle. State/Provincial Associations also offer opportunities to contribute.

Trapshooting scholarships are awarded at some State Shoots and at the Grand Pacific, and to Sub-Junior and Junior All-Star Team Members.  Watch for information in the shoot programs.

To claim earned scholarships, contact Treasurer Kay Klundt at 208-312-0314.

2025-2026 Y-E-S Committee met on January 23rd, 2025, and elected the officers listed below.  There is a transition period for the outgoing board members and officers to turn over to the new members.  This will take some time.  Thank you for your continued patience.

As most of the current board members are also filling positions and volunteering in a great number of ways for the P.I.T.A.  The Y-E-S Committee is still looking for volunteers.

States that would like to offer our scholarships in 2026 should email Matt Smith at the address below with their formal State Association-approved request. We are still in discussions regarding the Grand Pacific and other Fundraising Events for 2026.
