Youth Shooting
WWGC hosts a number of youth shooting teams, including our very own Walla Walla Gun Club Youth Trap & Skeet Team. Membership is open to any youth aged 13 yrs to 19, in high school or middle school, and able to handle a shotgun, obey the rules, and compete.
Note that girls and boys shoot on the same team together, and many girls outshoot the boys.

Trap Shooting
“Trapshooting is a specific form of clay target shooting. Trapshooting is a game of movement, action, and split-second timing. It requires the accuracy and skill to repeatedly aim, fire, and break the 4 1/4 inch disc which are hurled through the air at a speed of 42 mph, simulating the flight path of a bird fleeing a hunter.”

Skeet Shooting
Today’s skeet field varies little from its 1920 beginnings. It has eight shooting stations and two trap houses. Seven of the stations are arranged in a half moon between the two trap houses, and one station is directly between them.
The high house, on the left side of the field, throws its targets from a trap 10 feet above the ground. The target rises to a height of 15 feet by the time it travels to the center of the field. The low house target, on the right side, leaves the trap house just 3 1/2 feet from the ground. It also rises to a height of 15 feet by the time it reaches the center of the field.

5-Stand & Sporting Clays
5-Stand and Sporting Clays shooting has taken the shotgun world by storm. At WWGC, we have grown right along with the sports. These disciplines are the best participated in of all the shooting we do, except for our registered trap shoots.
