Find your focus with Transylvania Clay Target!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In fall 2024, Transylvania launched a Clay Target (shotgun) team in response to growing popularity and student interest. With the popularity of shotgun sports, Transy wants to provide  you a unique opportunity to excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clay Target team offers a unique opportunity to excel in diverse disciplines, including trap, skeet, sporting clays, and 5-stand, under the prestigious Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and ACUI-Clay Target Program. Practice sessions are held weekly at the state-of-the-art Blue Grass Sportmen\u2019s League shotgun fields and provide a safe and accessible environment for honing skills. Students bring their own 12-gauge shotguns, stored securely at the range, or use team-provided over\/under shotguns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t just about competition; it’s about a distinctive college experience. You’ll be part of one of the few private college clay target teams in Kentucky, building skills and community in a safe and accessible environment. Transylvania provides a rewarding extracurricular experience, blending skill development, community, and a commitment to safe and accessible participation. Managed by Vice-President for Student Life & Dean of Students, Michael Covert, the team emphasizes safety and affordability through fundraising activities like turkey shoots. “We\u2019re excited about this opportunity given the rise in clay target teams at Kentucky and area high schools,” Covert states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
