Events

Main Event: Sporting Clays

Sporting clays is a form of clay pigeon shooting, often described as golf with a shotgun because a typical course includes 10 to 15 different shooting stations laid out over natural terrain. Unlike trap and skeet, which are games of repeatable target presentations, sporting clays simulates the unpredictability of hunting, offering a great variety of trajectories, angles, speeds, elevations, distances, and target sizes. Powder Creek Shooting Park offers 2 scenic 12-station courses: The Blue Course has 75 targets and the Red Course has 100 targets.

5-Stand

5-Stand is very similar to sporting clays in that a wide variety of targets are thrown. No two 5-stands are exactly alike. There are five “stands” or stations to shoot from. There are usually somewhere between 6 and 8 traps that throw targets. Participants shoot in turn at each of the 5 stands and various combinations of targets are thrown from the traps. Usually there is a menu card that will advise the shooter of the sequence of targets. 5-Stand is a great way to get a sporting clays-like experience in a small amount of space, with very little walking.

Trap

Trapshooting is a specific form of clay target shooting. Trapshooting is a game of movement, action, and split-second timing. It requires the accuracy and skill to repeatedly aim, fire, and break the 4 1/4 inch disc which are hurled through the air at a speed of 42mph, simulating the flight path of a bird fleeing a hunter. Powder Creek Shooting Park has four trap fields that are all lighted for evening and night-time use. Singles, doubles, handicap and wobble trap targets are all thrown to ATA standards.
