Viking Lead Slingers announces its fifth season for the youth shooting sports team. The team has a slate of nearly a dozen coaches that will teach the art of shotgun shooting sports. They will focus on safety, education, etiquette, sportsmanship and leadership.
 
This year the team will offer three shooting disciplines with one optional:

The team will have five weeks of practice before moving into the conference shooting schedule. Athletes may elect to participate in five (5) invitational or state shoots as part of their registration fees. Of those five events, the VLS hosted invitational on May 4, 2024 and one State event are included. Each athlete will receive an team jersey and team sweatshirt, ATA and SCTP memberships, and 14-weeks of clay targets at SCC for Trap – Singles and Skeet. Trap-Doubles will build on the skills learned with Trap-Singles and begin the week of April 14 with a 10-week schedule.

Athlete registration is $225. The VLS Registration and Waiver form must be completed for each Athlete with registration payment submitted by January 28, 2024.  Additional SCTP forms must be completed prior to February 20 and will be emailed to registered athletes and parent/guardians.

Conference shoots are typically virtual versus a Southern Wisconsin conference team where 25 clay targets shot on practice days are counted for score. Invitational shoots are hosted by other clubs within Wisconsin where 100 clay targets are counted for score. Viking Lead Slingers is a member of the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) a division of Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF).
