We are excited to begin a Youth Sporting Clay Tournament Series. We noticed how quickly youth began to love shooting while hosting the Sportsman’s Challenge at our Refuge Hunting Camps. Whether a youth had experience shooting or not they instantly loved shooting sporting clays. After realizing that there were very few options for youth to enjoy sporting clays we decided to step in.
