J.D. Biehler from Kapaun Mount Carmel broke the school’s record for trap shooting, with a 50/50. It was something that never even crossed his mind in the moment.

“I will be honest, my first round of 25 I didn’t think I was even going to break a 25 straight,” Biehler said. “I was just up there doing my thing, the air was calm and cool, but not cold.”

But finally getting to 50 took a lot and there were numerous stresses throughout the shots.

“I was super nervous, on every single shot I could feel my body go light, and I was shaking the whole time, just due to the number of nerves that were going through my body,” Biehler said. “Every single shot was a hard right throw, which for me is the hardest shot. However, I knew if I trusted in God, and in my strength of skills I could do it and I did.”

Biehler said to be the first Kapaun shooter to accomplish a 50/50 is a true honor.

“I know that none of it would be possible without any of my coaches, and both former and fellow shooters on the team,” Biehler said. “I am excited to put my name in Kapaun trap records, however now I have started my new goals of shooting a 75 straight and 100 straight.”
