Hello Everyone,
Welcome to Corey Cogdell's official Camospace! Corey is on the 2008 Olympic Team for International Trapshooting and here is a little moe about her.

Corey grew up hunting with her father. She began at age 3, which fostered a love for shooting. A few years later, she joined the 4-H program and started to develop her trap shooting skills. Corey made the National Development Team in 2006 at Fall Selection when she placed first in the junior women’s trap competition. That same day, she made the National Team when her score also placed her third in the open women’s trap competition. Corey didn’t go to traditional school, she was home schooled and received her high school diploma in May of 2005. Corey is currently living at the Olympic Training Center as a resident athlete.

As early as age three, Corey and her sister were learning to shoot from their father. She began with hunting and ultimately became involved in her local 4-H program. The experience hooked her on the sport, and pushed her to seek out teaching resources from others in the field. At each competition she picked up shooting tips from other shotgunners, learned to self analyze from her first coach, and even traveled for a lesson alongside Olympian Bret Erickson. Fast forward to 2007, she is a member of the national squad and earned an international bronze on the World Cup circuit.

Beyond the shooting range, she has a wide range of interests. Corey is a self proclaimed hunting fanatic and she loves to fish. Corey played basketball in grade school and was a competitive skier as a teen. She can also cook, serving as an assistant chef and learning to make authentic Italian in Italy. Most recently, she began to climb under the hood and rebuild cars.
