Those looking to sharpen their shotgun skills before the fall hunting seasons can participate in two shotgun shooting clinics in August at Deer Ridge Conservation Area (CA). Trap shooting is a challenging and rewarding sport that builds accuracy, focus, and confidence. The MDC invites participants to bring their own shotgun, ammo, and eye and ear protection for the events, where they will provide one round of 25 clay targets per person.
MDC staff is hosting two Shotgun Shooting Open Practice events at the Deer Ridge trap house. The events take place:
- Tuesday, Aug. 11 from 5:30-8 p.m.: Register at http://short.mdc.mo.gov/opC.
- -Tuesday, Aug. 18 from 5:30-8 p.m.: Register at http://short.mdc.mo.gov/opV.
Both events are designed for participants ages 11 and older. Those ages 11-17 must always be accompanied by an adult on the range.
