Darryl Hayes - Former ATA President - Trap Talk E103

Darryl Hayes, a distinguished figure in the trapshooting community, made history as the youngest president of the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) at age 40.

Introduced to trapshooting at the age of seven by his father, Franklin Hayes, Darryl's passion for the sport grew alongside his involvement in the family tradition. His early experiences at the Century Gun Club in Carleton, Michigan were instrumental in shaping his dedication to trapshooting.

In addition to his contributions to trapshooting, Hayes has had a distinguished career in law enforcement. In June 2021, he was promoted to Deputy Chief of the Detroit Police Department, a role in which he has applied the discipline and leadership skills honed through his involvement in competitive shooting.

Hayes's leadership in the ATA and his professional achievements exemplify his dedication to service and his commitment to fostering inclusivity within the shooting sports community.
