The South Carolina Sporting Clays Association host an Annual Circuit Shoot Points Race. This gives the South Carolina shooters a chance to experience shooting at various clubs, and the opportunity to meet new shooters. We believe this has helped South Carolina expand the sport of “clay shooting.” We hope that it will continue to expand in South Carolina and the surrounding states.
As for this year’s Circuit Shoot Season, we have added two new clubs in the “Race” from our two surrounding states, North Carolina and Georgia. We would like to welcome DeWitt’s Game Farm (Ellerbe, NC) and Elberton Gun Club (Elberton, GA). We believe adding these clubs from surrounding states will help build the sport of “clay shooting” in our home state.
Since the South Carolina Sporting Clays Association is on a limited budget, we would like all members and future members to provide email addresses. This will be the main form of contact for future shoots and news information. You can provide your email address to
