Helping Kids One Shot at a Time!

The Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) is a team-based clay target shooting program that is changing the lives of grade, middle and high school students nation-wide and in Iowa.  Through organized clay target shooting, kids are learning lifelong skills such as gun safety, teamwork, respect for self and others, mental focus and self-discipline.   

Established in 2006, the Iowa Scholastic Clay Target Program, Inc. is committed to supporting organized youth, high school and colligate clay target shooting programs across the state of Iowa.  Please view the news page for current support programs.

You can make a difference by making a tax-deductible donation to the Iowa Scholastic Clay Target Program, Inc. - a 501(c)(3), charitable corporation.  The average cost for one student to participate in one shooting discipline throughout the spring shooting season is >$500, not including equipment costs.  Your generous contribution will help offset costs and will provide funding for youth, high school and colligate shooting programs in Iowa.  Please view the sponsorship packages page to find out how you can help!

Sponsored by the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation and the national governing bodies of each sport, SCTP has >10,000 participants nationwide annually.  In Iowa, the Iowa High School and Scholastic Clay Target Program have a spring shooting season for organized trap, skeet and sporting clays.  Starting in March, teams are lead by certified coaches, practices are conducted, and local matches are held with neighboring teams.  All of these league shoots lead up to the Iowa High School and SCTP Championships each May and June.  For more information on the program or how to  start a program, contact the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
