Shotgun Events

Sporting Clays

Kinnicum offers a Sporting Clay field utilizing manual traps and two electronic traps. The course is open to the public on Tuesday evenings between April and September starting at approximately 5:30 PM and ending when done or dark. The event is run weather permitting. The season begins with simple presentations and changes to more challenging presentations as the season progresses. The course consists of a 50-bird presentation with a new layout every week. Depending on the number of shooters, squads are formed of approximately 6 or 7 shooters. Once the squads are formed they are lead around the course which generally consists of five stations where five presentations of pairs are shot giving a total of 10 clays (targets) per station. The presentations consist of challenges from different angles and distances and vary from station to station with no duplication. The clays consist of a mixture of standards, midi's, mini's, and rabbits that may vary in color. You may hear people call the clays, birds (feathers) or rabbits (fur). The stations are given names such as springing teal, fur and feather, bird & crippled, and rabbit(s). A presentation consisting of a pair can be delivered as simos, report pair, or following (one at a time). Each shooter is allowed only two shots per presentation. Sporting Clays is a fun event for the whole family! It provides challenges for all shooters, from the very new to the very experienced. No special guns or equipment is required. However, for a safe shoot, eye and hearing protection is a requirement of shooters and spectators. Again, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC at 5:30 every Tuesday, the fee is $8.00 for members, $10.00 for non-members. Come down and give it try! We have many repeat shooters who are more than willing to help any level shooter. Try it once and you're hooked!
