Based in South Central Pennsylvania, the Mason-Dixon Clay Busters (MDCB) is a youth Trap Shooting team organized under the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP). The SCTP is a development program sponsored by the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF).
All of our practices are held at the Izaak Walton League of America, York Chapter (www.yorkiwla.org) located at chapter's grounds on Iron Stone Hill Road and the Jefferson Sportsmen's Association (www.jeffersonsportsmen.org) located at 4707 Sportsman Club Rd just outside Jefferson Pennsylvania.
In addition to regularly scheduled practices, team members participate in a number of competitions. Participants will also have the opportunity to compete in the SCTP PA State Trapshooting Championship held at the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association Home Grounds in Elysburg, PA.
Focus and Goals
The primary focus of all MDCB activities is SAFETY. The program goals are as follows:
- Teach the safe and responsible handling and use of firearms.
- Provide a supportive team-based environment, using clay target sports as the catalyst, for teaching life lessons and skills that emphasize positive character traits and citizenship values.
- Introduce youths to a sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime, one that offers a level playing field, and one that offers all family members an opportunity to play.
