May we introduce you to the Rocky Creek Clay Dusters (RCCD), a sporting clay shooting team registered with the SCTP (Scholastic Clay Target Program).  SCTP is a program of the National Shooting Sports Foundation.  Through the SCTP, the National Shooting Sports Foundation in cooperation with other shooting sport disciplines including Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays, has exposed thousands of young shooters in grades 4 through 12 to the positive experience of shooting sports.

The SCTP and the Rocky Creek Clay Duster board of directors, coaches and parents endeavor to develop in young people a set of personal values, character traits, sportsmanship, integrity, individual responsibility, self-discipline and personal commitment – qualities to make them successful and positive contributing members of society.

The Rocky Creek Clay Dusters youth shooting team had a phenomenal first year. Thanks to the support of the individuals and companies listed on our website, we fielded 23 young shooters, from the 4th through 11th grade at 5 sporting clays tournaments in South Carolina, one skeet tournament in South Carolina and 6 shooters at the National Sporting Clays Championship in San Antonio, Texas. To give you a brief recap of our tournament results in 2007:

Every team member’s demonstration of firearm handling and safety was complimented by every shooting facility and DNR representative we encountered throughout the year. We are extremely proud of their accomplishments in such a short time. In the last quarter of 2007, we began preparations for the 2008 tournament season. Our team roster has increased 25%. We have conducted 2 practices. Several shooters attended the SC Dept. of Natural Resources Hunter Education Safety Program. A tentative 5 tournament schedule has been created with the SC State Finals in May. This year the National Finals will be held in Sparta, Illinois from July 31 – August 2.
