2026 Idaho State Sporting Clay Championship

The Idaho State Sporting Clay Championship brings together shotgun shooters to compete on a challenging course designed to simulate real hunting scenarios. Sporting clays differs from trap and skeet by presenting targets from various angles, distances, and speeds across multiple stations on the course.

Shooters will move through different stages, engaging clay targets from stands that replicate hunting situations. The format tests both marksmanship and adaptability as targets present varying difficulty levels. Competition typically runs throughout the day with multiple squads rotating through the course.

This state championship attracts shooters with experience in clay shooting. Participants should be comfortable with shotgun handling and have developed consistency in their shooting. Whether you shoot competitively or hunt regularly, this event provides a platform to measure your skills against other Idaho shooters.

Expect a full-length sporting clays course with multiple stations. Each station presents different target presentations—some close, some distant, some crossing, some incoming. This variety demands both technical skill and tactical thinking about shot placement and lead.

The championship typically features divisions based on experience level and equipment type, allowing shooters to compete fairly within their category.
