First practice for the club.

The Baldwin High School Clay Target Club was approved last Wednesday, Feb 25, by the Student Council. This club will be competing  in the Kansas State High School Clay Target League.

The main instructor/coach community member Ryan Reynolds. He had to gain school board for approval of the club before the students could start the presentation for the Student Council.

Reynolds is excited about the upcoming year and thinks that the club is a good addition to the Baldwin school system and can not wait what it holds in the future.

“I’m very excited about the opportunity this club presents to students in Baldwin, ” Reynolds

said. “I wanted to get kids involved in ‘shooting sports’ and shotgun events for a long time so, when Kansas State High School Clay Target League started recruiting coaches I jumped at the chance.”

Sophomore Kyle Francis has been shooting competitively for five years and is super excited about the new club.

“I have been shooting competitively for five years with the Kansas City Crushers and think that bringing this sport to the high school level is a great idea and plan on supporting it  and helping other shooters as much as I can,” Francis said

Sophomores Blayne Chapman and Brent Lantis approved the club last Wednesday with Student Council. Chapman and Lantis both worked on writing the Constitution for the club with help from Reynolds together. The club was made official and practice shoots start Tuesday, March 8.
