Shotgun Events & Activities

Proper protocol and etiquette for field usage  

When arriving to shoot it is proper to go to an unused field if one is available first, please do not go to a field already occupied if an unused field is available.  If all fields are being used choose the one with the fewest shooters first, do not interrupt the squad if in middle of a round, when they finish ask if you can join them if they have fewer than 5 shooters (max limit for a squad is 5).  If they prefer not to shoot with you or your group then they must share the field with you by allowing you to shoot the next round then when you finish and come off the field, they shoot the following round, thus alternating rounds. 

The only situations and times this does not apply is during competitions when the fields are reserved for only the competitors, when a certified instructor who has made prior arrangements to reserve a field, and during 4H season (January to end of July) the 4H club has first priority on all skeet/trap/five stand on Tuesday evenings (and only Tuesdays) starting at 5:30 until close.

As a reminder our rules require all shotguns used on our shotgun fields  (skeet, trap, five stand and sporting clays course) to have a barrel length of 26 inches or longer.  Shooters may only use shot sizes of 7 1/2, 8, 8 1/2 or 9 for all skeet, trap, five stand and sporting clays.  Shooters may only load two shells at a time for these clay target sports.  A full set of rules can be found here: https://corpuschristigunclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/CCGC-Rules-1-1-2024.pdf

 

2025 NSSA Skeet Shoot Events

We throw 100% White Flyer targets through Beomat machines.

2024 NCSA-TCSA Sporting Clay Events

Pre-registration is on Scorechaser.com for all our NSCA?TSCA sporting clay events.

Our 16 station course has the ability to run both regular sporting with 2 machines per station and super sporting with up to 4 machines per station.  On a daily basis we set up 3 machines per station.  We throw 100% White Flyer targets through Promatic machines.  The course was designed to represent the wide open Texas coastal plains of open grass plains with the occasional tree “Mott”, gently sloping topography, natural drainage/ ravines and a pond. The club has a mobile tower with two machines.  The course has a raised all weather cart path, three raised shooting stations (the highest elevates the eyes about 12 ft above grade) and all stations provide sturdy footing with wood floors.  Our wide open course is a target setters dream.

Sporting Clays – Corporate and Fundraiser Events

Go to events page for link to flyers and more info

The Corpus Christi Gun Club sporting clay course was designed to represent the wide open Texas coastal plains of open grass plains with the occasional tree “Mott”, gently sloping topography, natural drainage/ ravines and a pond.  The target presentations on the 16 station course will vary in speed from slow to the occasional rocket; they will vary from up close flushing quail, flushing prairie chickens (think big slow and do not fly far), to longer crossing doves, landing ducks, bull frogs (that short slow hop from a green target),  jumping ducks, driven birds (think incoming pheasants), crows, the wily rabbit or a rabbit thrown in the air as the dreaded “rabbue”.  Targets could consist of standard size, a midi target, a battue (very thin), or rabbits. For colors CCGC mixes all black, orange dome, orange top, all orange and green tops as needed.  The club also has a mobile tower with two machines.  The course has a raised all weather cart path, three raised shooting stations and all stations provide sturdy footing with wood floored stations.  The Promatic machines used by CCGC have the most adjustability in the industry allowing for some very fun,  interesting and challenging target presentations limited only by imagination and our wide open course is a target setters dream.  The presentations will be a mix of both true pairs and report pairs.  For corporate and fundraiser events our target setter’s goal is to have shooters walk away thinking “I could have gotten all of those targets”.

    Sporting Clay course rules

    The attached is the current set of rules that govern the use of the club’s sporting clay course.

    CART PERMIT

    This agreement must be completed, signed and dropped off at the CCGC clubhouse prior to using a personal cart (golf cart, sporting clay’s buggy, gator etc) in order to be issued a permit which must be displayed. There is no cost associated with the permit.

    Additional Info

    If you want to shoot your shotgun with anything other than slugs or buckshot in bays 6-9 you will need to bring your own target stands.

    The rules do not allow for the use of bird shot being fired at the clubs target backer boards in any bay or range.

    If you want to pattern your shotgun we have a pattern board next to shotgun field one.   We now have target stands with backers for rent at the club house.
