5 Stand

Five-Stand (aka 5-Stand), is a clay target game that is fun and challenging to any shot gunner.  The 5-Stand shotgun format combines the Best of Trap, Sheet, and Sporting Clays.  The game consists of 5 different shooting stands arranged in line with each other, 5-Stand can have up to 5 shooters, one at each stand participating in a round.  Each shooter gets to shoot at 5 different clay target presentations at each stand.  A full round consists of 25 clay targets and shells per shooter. 

The shooting fee is $8.25 per round for members and $10.75 for guests.  

 

Our 5-Stand features 13 traps with a large variety of throws including trap, battue, quartering out, crossers and rabbits.  We have three difficulty levels in the six courses of fire that include two novice (Green & White), two intermediate (Blue & Yellow) and two difficult (Black & Red).  All courses of fire include singles, report and true pairs.  Please limit shot sizes to 7-1/2, 8 or 9. 

 

Peak Season Hours: Thursday - Sunday (9am to 2pm).

Off Season Hours: Friday - Sunday (9am - 1pm).  

 

We conduct both Shotgun 5-Stand Basic & Advanced Training Clinics held on the 2nd & 3rd Thursday’s of every month. 

 

Also, we run a 5-Stand Fall League, Winter League and Summer Challenge 5-Stand clay shooting events for our shooters throughout the year.

 

Our RSOs/Trappers look forward to pulling for you at our MGAC 5-Stand.
