After shooting more than 35,000 rounds, about 70 young shotgunners in the Rabbit Creek Youth League wrapped up the fall session in Anchorage. About 100 kids are coached by trained, volunteer instructors and compete in five-stand or sporting clays in youth shotgun leagues in Anchorage and in the Mat-Su Valley, said Jerry Soukup, director of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Hunter Information and Training Program. The Hunter Information & Training Program, working with the Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaska, is involved with two programs, one at the department’s Rabbit Creek Shooting Park in Anchorage and a second at the private Grouse Ridge Shooting Range in Wasilla. “We have nationally ranked champions and state champions that were in our league,” Soukup said. Rogers compared sporting clays go to “golfing with a shotgun.” Participants shoot from a variety of stations, shooting 50 or 100 times in situations that evoke the way game birds flush in actual hunting situations.
