Wingshooting clinics will be conducted this summer and fall in Illinois at IDNR sites, cooperating gun clubs, and hunting preserves. Most clinics are conducted on weekends. Wingshooting clinics for youth (age 10-15) and women provide instruction on safely firing a shotgun at a moving target with reasonable reliability.
Hunter wingshooting clinics are also offered, are hands-on, and include extensive live fire at a variety of clay target presentations on sporting clays courses specifically designed for teaching typical hunting situations.
Youth/Women’s Wingshooting Clinics are available to students either for free or for a small registration fee. Most of the funding for the clinics is provided by the IDNR, the Illinois Conservation Foundation, and clinic sponsors. For the wingshooting clinic schedule and much more information, check the IDNR website here.
