Clay Target
BSM's clay target team is open to anyone in grades 7-12. There are two opportunities to participate in clay target at BSM throughout the school year:
Fall season (practice season): 6 weeks in duration and is open to anyone in grades 7-12.
Spring season (competition season): 11 - 12 weeks in duration and is open anyone in grades 7-12. The spring season provides an opportunity to letter and includes an optional opportunity to participate in the world’s largest shooting event, contested in mid-June at Alexandria’s Gun Club.
The team also depends on many parent volunteers and the support staff at the Minnetonka Sportsmen Club (7480 County Road 15, Mound, MN 55364).
