LowCountry Young Guns Youth Trap Shooting

LowCountry Young Guns is a youth and young adult oriented scholastic clay target shotgun sports team located at the Partridge Creek Gun Club in Ridgeville, SC.  Guys and girls between the ages of 12 and 21 are always welcome.  Come on out, we are always looking for new shooters!  If you don't know anything about shotgun sports, check out the Shotgun Sports section to get a quick and dirty overview.  If you don't know what a shotgun is, don't worry about that either, here's a cheat sheet.  And don't worry if you have no experience, there are always shotgun sports veterans who are more than willing to help get you started!

LCYG Fundraiser & Fun Shoot

Girls Rule!Recently we held a fundraiser shoot to benefit our youth team. Team members, guests, and families all came out for a day of friendly competition. The girls took the day in the SCRAP competition! And, through the generosity and support of area shooters, we raised over $2,000 for the youth program!

And yes, the Girls humbled the guys...

Four Rules of Gun Safety
Always consider a gun to be loaded and treat it as such!
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire!
Never let the muzzle point at anything you
Always be sure of your target AND what's behind it!
