Sporting Clays

The Ultimate Shotgun Challenge

Often called “golf with a shotgun,” sporting clays offers one of the most exciting and realistic bird-hunting simulations in the shooting sports world. With its ever-changing terrain, target presentations, and natural outdoor setting, no two shots or stations are ever quite the same.

Heartland Public Shooting Park features three 10-station sporting clays courses, as well as Super Sporting, giving shooters a wide variety of angles, distances, and target styles to tackle. The sport uses six different sizes of clay targets, which can be thrown from virtually any direction to simulate everything from flushing upland birds to fast-dropping waterfowl.

Sporting clays is typically shot in squads of two to six, and any shotgun in safe working condition capable of firing two shots is welcome. Whether you’re tuning up for bird season or just enjoying a day on the course with friends, it’s a great way to improve your skills and enjoy some friendly competition.

Heartland is proud to host major events such as the Cornhusker State Games, the Nebraska State Shotgun Championships, and the 4-H National Shooting Sports Championships.

Leagues coming soon!
