Shotgun

Participation in the college shotgun sports has grown remarkably in recent years. Between 2006 and 2009, the annual ACUI Intercollegiate Clay Target Championships has seen a 40 percent increase in participation.

Much of this increase can be directly attributed to high school students graduating from programs like the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and 4-H and continuing to compete in college.
