Last night, Blackburn Clay Target hit the range at Brittany Shooting Park to kick off the season with trap and s***t! We couldn't have asked for a better start for the team. We had so much fun and learned a lot from Coach Lauren. We have an amazing crew, and we are so excited for the season ahead!

The Blackburn Clay Target Team is officially on campus, and practice is underway!

We kicked off our very first team practice using the simulator to establish a baseline and help track our progress throughout the season. It was a great opportunity to evaluate our skills, set goals, and start building for success.
