From the website wiclaytarget.com: “The purpose of the Wisconsin State High School Clay Target League is to attract students to participate in shooting sports while creating friendly competition among high schools throughout Wisconsin. …The (league) provides a safe, comfortable, and positive team environment that enhances a student athlete’s character and personal growth through safe, educational, and socially acceptable involvement in shooting sports.”  Clay target shooting is a team sport and emphasizes safe firearms handling. Students compete “virtually” against other teams, meaning that they shoot at their local gun club, and then scores are posted and compared. Teams do not have to travel to compete against each other. Student athletes must meet their school’s standards to be eligible to participate, just like any other sport.
