The amount of Pittman-Robertson conservation dollars
raised from League athletes vs. the average hunter.
LEAGUE LEADING CONSERVATION
USA Clay Target League student athletes are leading contributors to
wildlife management and conservation efforts.
I've often said that it helps to have
some organized intentional activities
around hunting and fishing for the young
people, and an example is the success of
the USA High School Clay Target League
that started in Minnesota.
There is tremendous growth and interest
at the high school level for kids who
want to come out and shoot and,
hopefully, some of those kids will
actually take up hunting."

$122 MILLION
Estimated amount of shooting sports-related
expenditures spent by student athletes in 2024.
Whether you realized it or not, the League
is a part of this successful system of
conservation and public opportunities."
