The monthly sporting clays shoot is open to the public and one way the club earns revenue to enhance and maintain the discipline. Members are encouraged to support this by participation and volunteering to set the course for the monthly event or supply lunch for the shoot. Supplying the lunch means you order the lunch, pick it up, and have it ready after the shoot. Sporting Clays reimburses the lunch provider for the expenses. If you are interested in setting the course or supplying the lunch, please contact Joel Volpi at ajoelvolpi@gmail.com or by text to 770.827.7569.

Monthly Shoot
June 11, 2022
The course setters this month were a combination of Ken and Dale Melton and Bill and Austin Cagle. They moved quite a few machines, which resulted in some interesting new targets.
Many thanks to Monty Seahorn, Jeff Webster, and Bill Sams for loading the machines on Friday for the shoot, and to Bill Honiball who picked up our lunch. Thirty-five shooters participated in the match, 12 club members and 23 non-members. The overall average was 55 and 64 for members. The high overall shooter was Buster McDaniel with a score of 83 followed by Trent Conner with a score of 74.
