4-H Shooting Sports & SCTP

If your 4-H Shooting Sports Club has a few members who LOVE to break clay targets, a natural progression for the coach/coordinator to take your club to the next level is through the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP). The SCTP is sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. It is a well run organization and it is very easy to register a new club.

SCTP allows clubs to choose which shooting discipline they wish to participate in – trapshooting, sporting clays or skeet. Each program is run under the auspices of the national governing body for each sport and team members are junior members of said organizations. The rules governing the programs are available on–line at www.nssf.org/sctp, as are all of the necessary forms. New York State 4-H certification as a shotgun instructor meets the qualifications to lead a team. Complete story...>
