Clay Target Shooting

Clay Target Shooting

Clay Target Shooting takes place in Terms One, Two and Three and may be taken alongside other major codes. This sport has enjoyed considerable success at King's College, with the First Team winning the national title in 2003 and being runners-up in 2008.

In 2006 the King's College girls team won the North Island title and were 3rd in the South Island Championship.

There are two competition shoots per tem and these take place on Thursdays at venues throughout the North Island. The National Championships are held at the beginning of the Term Three holidays.
