Collyn Loper's dream is to compete in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Her career as an Olympic athlete began at age nine when her father first introduced her to sporting clays. She soon fell in love with the sport, and at age eleven joined Birmingham's Southern Skeet and Trap Club. Shortly afterward, she moved her training to the 1996 Olympic shooting venue in Atlanta, Georgia and began her official training in International trap with Bill Erdoss. Unfortunately the Atlanta facility has closed and we must build a range for training.
"The road is long for me to accomplish my goal of representing the United States in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and watching our flag rise from the medals podium. Only one woman can earn the right to represent our shooting team in Olympic trap shooting, and my goal is to be this Olympian. " Collyn Loper, 2006.
