2021 Sporting Clays Shooting Clinic Sponsored by Friends of the NRA

On August 29, 2021, 73 Shooters from around Illinois and Indiana converged on X-Line Shotgun Club about 4 miles east of Kankakee and north of Illinois Route 17 to learn about hunting inspired clay target shooting, Sporting Clays. This was sponsored by title sponsor, NRA Foundation, and other local residents and businesses. It is a simulated hunting event with100 clay targets taking the place of real birds, rabbits, poison pair, incoming decoy ducks, crossers, and battues. So the shooters were watching over their heads in some stations, watching the ground for the rabbits in others, etc. It is a very fun experience!

The highest score was an 89 with a tie and Denny Drinski winning the shoot-off. The highest Junior was Davis Testerman, and the high woman was Mackinzie Wilkins.
