Clay Busters 101

The trap season starts with firearms safety training in February. Practices are held two days a week, Thursdays and Sundays. At practices, athletes work on their singles, doubles, and handicap along with the occasional skeet shooting and sporting clays. The season ends in August after competing at the Grand Nationals in Sparta, Illinois.

From March to August the team competes at local sportsmen clubs such as the Middletown Sportsman Club and Fairfield Sportsman Association. The team also travels to compete in the Columbus, Ohio area and in Sparta, Illinois. For more detailed information on practices, competitions and the team we invite you to join us at our information meetings or contact Coach Mark.

In addition to practices and competitions the team works together to fundraise money. This money supports the costs for practice ammo and some fees. Each year the team raffles off a firearm which the athletes are expected to help sell tickets for.
