A new sporting clays course will open next week at the Clark County Shooting Complex.

Officials will celebrate the opening of the 30-station sporting clays course at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17. Sporting clays are also known as “golf with guns” since most users travel between shooting stations in golf carts that have been modified with gun racks.

The course will open to the public the next day.

The shooting positions will also be labeled in red, white & blue, indicating degrees of difficulty associated with the position.
