ODESSA - Competitors are preparing for next week's trap shoot at Silver Dollar Trap Club, the fifth for the club.

The Florida Gulf Coast Paralyzed Veterans of America holds these trap shoots to raise money for activities in support of paralyzed veterans. The fifth annual event, to be held Tuesday through Thursday, is expected to attract more than 200 participants from around the nation.

The sport requires fast reflexes and a sharp eye over mobility and strength and demonstrates how wheelchair trapshooters can compete with able-bodied trapshooters on an even playing field.
