What is Sporting Clays ?
The sporting clays area
encompasses 75 acres which has been seeded with a special habitat mixture was
made possible by a joint effort of Nebraska Pheasants Forever, the City of Grand
Island and a dedicated group of volunteers of their time and equipment. In
addition, over 120 trees have been planted.
The 10 station course is a
circular one where shooters shoot toward the center of the circle. There is
a gravel cart road around the course and fenced entrances to each station. Two
of the stations are shot while standing on a raised platform. One of these
platforms has a wobble trap to vary the shots which makes the
target presentations very interesting. Towers vary in size, including one 40
foot and one 60 foot. Each tower has a platform that holds two traps with the
capability to throw overhead targets long distances to challenge the shooter
even more.
Each station is supplied with
two PRO-MATIC traps so there are two varied targets thrown for each
presentation. The traps are repositioned regularly to provide an endless variety
of target presentations. Traps are run with automatic counters so you can
shoot as many targets as you desire and pay for only the ones shot. The control
boxes also allow a shooter to delay the release of the target three seconds
after the push of a button, thereby enabling the person to shoot alone, which is
particularly useful if you want to practice certain presentations.
