Shotgun

Pull! Few things can compare to the feeling of watching a clay target flying through the air to be broken by a wellplaced shot. The shotgun discipline helps develop hand-eye coordination.

The shotgun discipline consists initially of a modified sporting clays course known as Clover Clays on the county and district level.  Youth of the 4-H age of 10-18 may participate in this discipline.  Senior age 4-H members (age 14-18) who qualify for the annual state invitational will see potentially up to three different courses of fire.  Those courses of fire being, trap, skeet, 5 stand (sporting clays).
