Target Pursuits
The Field Experience
Progressing through 14 stations over a mile-long course, participants are presented with a variety of clay targets. Face flushing clay targets that zip in and out of the trees. Challenge your skills at the “duck decoy” station where incoming targets float in towards you. At our “rabbit” station, targets are thrown end-over-end and skitter across the ground.

5-Stand
Five-stand incorporates the best of skeet, trap, and sporting clays into a field game that is fun and challenging. During this 25-shot round, each participant attempts five targets from each of five stations which provide a different perspective.
