Student-run clay target team · 501(c)(3) nonprofit

Help us get to the line.

We're a group of college students who shoot trap, skeet and sporting clays and compete against schools across the Southeast. Every dollar y'all give goes toward getting our shooters to competition.

About the team

Real competition, run entirely by students.

We practice every week and travel to collegiate tournaments throughout the year. Members range from shooters who grew up on the range to students who picked up a shotgun for the first time with us.

Our members already carry a lot of the load. They pay $200 a semester in dues and buy their own practice rounds. What dues can't cover is the cost of competing: entry fees, travel and lodging for away tournaments, and shells and targets.

That's where y'all come in.

Where your gift goes

Last season, competing cost us $15,427.

Here's exactly where that money went in fiscal year 2025–26. This year we expect the bill to be closer to $20,000 as the team grows and travels more.

Competition entry fees$8,715
Travel and lodging$5,011
Shells and targets$1,700

Give

Every gift is tax-deductible.

Shotgun Team at UGA is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Gifts go to the team, not to the University. There are three ways to give, and you'll get a written receipt for any gift of $250 or more.

Help us grow our endowment

Give through the MidwayUSA Foundation

Our team has an endowment with the MidwayUSA Foundation, a nonprofit that funds youth and collegiate shooting sports. Gifts to our endowment are eligible to be matched, and every dollar grows the cash grant the team can draw each year, so your gift keeps working for future shooters long after this season.

You can also order a sweepstakes calendar. Each one is a $50 donation to our endowment and an entry into MidwayUSA Foundation's 52-gun giveaway.

Gifts made here go to the MidwayUSA Foundation for our team's endowment (Team ID R36623), and your receipt comes from them.
