First-annual shoot for clubs, schools expected to draw 450 to Edgefield
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources said about 450 youth shooters will compete tomorrow (April 18) at the first annual SCDNR Youth Sporting Clay Open at the Palmetto Shooting Sports Complex in Edgefield.
The shoot is available to all school and club teams; it is fully funded and will allow more youth shooters from across the state the opportunity to participate in the shooting sports without the large financial obligation that often acts as a barrier. SCDNR, along with other sponsors, will be giving away over $23,000 in scholarships, guns and trophies.
Offering opportunities for youth to become and stay involved in the shooting sports, SCDNR has long-standing commitments to 4-H Shooting Sports, the Scholastic Clay Target Program, and SC Youth Shooting Foundation. This Open will allow school teams and shooting clubs to compete within their own separate divisions.
SCDNR continues its mission to safely introduce youth to the shooting sports through a proven formula of partnering with the educational system to support scholastic shooting sports (in both archery and clay target) through a safe learning environment.
