Sporting clays is a clay pigeon game approximating field shooting
conditions. There are now 6 stations, each presenting different shooting
problems; birds crossing; birds flushing and going straight up; into
the trees; and a rabbit jumping up and running. Each shooter has 50
targets; 6 to 10 at each of the 5 to 7 stations. The shooter is allowed 1 shot
per target. Generally, there are no alibis.
We shoot the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Alma range with a
shooters meeting at 10:00 a.m. February and March. 9:00 am April through October.
Due to growing attendance we shoot in squads of 8 to 10 shooters.
Most shotgun gauge is acceptable(not 10 gauge) but loads must not be heavier than
3 1/4 dram equivalents and shot no larger than #7 1/2.
Youth shooters are most welcome. They shoot the same stations as the
adults but shoot at only 25 singles. Youth shoot free with an adult.
