Sporting Clays Fundraiser Shoot (PDF)

The Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) is an educational-athletic organization that exists to introduce school-age youths to the clay target sports and to facilitate their continued involvement by providing, promoting, and offering opportunities to safely and enjoyably participate and compete in a high quality, team-based sport led by trained and certified adult coaches focused on enhancing the personal growth and development of their athletes.

The Fort Lee Dusters practice on a weekly basis. They shoot trap, skeet, and sporting clays all over the state at local competition shoots and at state and National level as well. Presently we have 7 members that compete along with 2 adult Coaches. They are exposed to hundreds of people at local and state competitions and over a thousand people at the Nationals. There are over 40 states represented at the Nationals from all over the United States. The team has organized a fundraiser sporting clays shoot for Saturday, June 23, 2012 at Central Virginia Sporting Clays Range in Palmyra, VA. This event will support them as they represent Virginia at the National Competition in Sparta, Illinois.

Please see event flyer for details. Come support the team and enjoy a round of sporting clays!
