2021 Lowcountry Land Trust - Sporting Clays at White House Plantation

Josh Bell, Demi Howard and Ashley Demosthenes 
After a hiatus in 2020 due to Covid-19, the annul Sporting Clays Shoot in support of Lowcountry Land Trust resumed with two days of sporting competition. Protected property White House Plantation hosted the event that saw shooting teams complete a round of clays in the morning, before enjoying a catered lunch by Jimmy Fitts. An afternoon round of clays welcomed a different set of shooters, and they began their visit by sharing lunch and fellowship with the morning wave. Conservation of the Lowcountry is the name of the game at this event, the Lowcountry Land Trust is celebrating 35-years of leadership.

The weather on both Saturday and Sunday was picture perfect, with the Lowcountry already experiencing the drier and warmer weather that is forecast for this winter. A safety briefing preceded each round of shooting, and the custom course was set up by long-time Land Trust supporter Demi Howard. It takes 100-shots to complete a sporting clays course that consists of multiple stations that are set up to resemble game such as teal, snipe or rabbits. Some stations release two targets at once, and anyone lucky enough to break both targets with one shell jokes they are practicing conservation of ammunition. Of course, good clean fun is the point for most of the shooting teams that consist of families and old friends that were grateful to be gathering again in the outdoors.
