CHEROKEE
SPORTING CLAYS

 

 

Cherokee Scout Reservation is excited to introduce one of the first 12 station Sporting Clays Courses available at a Boy Scout camp. The course is located across Boy Scout Camp Road from the camp entrance.  This new high adventure program is for Scouts and Venturers 13+ years old and Leaders.  Scouts need to have completed the Shotgun Shooting Merit Badge & Venturers need to have completed the NRA Shotgun course.  The Cherokee Sporting Clays course will be open to Units during the off season under the supervision of the Cherokee Range Masters.

Our course includes clays thrown as singles, simultaneous or true pairs, and report pairs (the second clay launched on the report of the shooter's gun, hence the name report pair). Targets are thrown at different angles and speeds:  sometimes across the shooter's view (crossers), towards the shooter (in-comers), or away from the shooter (out-goers). The shots are intended to simulate hunting for quail, grouse, pheasant, pigeon or other game.
