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
