Page 8 of the May 2013 issue
Nevada's 2,900-acre Clark County Shooting Complex features a new, world-class sporting clays course with scenic vistas of the Las Vegas valley and nearby snow-capped mountains. Thirty shooting stations have been strategically placed, featuring a 270-degree, elevated, panoramic view with backdrops such as Mt. Charleston and the Las Vegas Strip in the background for ample photo opportunities. World-renowned course designer Marty Fischer involves subtle rolling hills developed around each shooting station, providing each with its own intimate environment. The 75-acre course offers three shooting positions at each station for a total of 90. The positions labeled in red, white, and blue indicate degrees of difficulty associated with each presentation. Shooting is designed to simulate hunting game birds, offering numerous flight presentations with variations in speed, distance, elevation, angle, and target size. The shotgun center contains 24 trap and skeet field combinations plus a 5,443-sq.-ft. center with reception area, pro shop, shotgun storage lockers, and cafeteria. It also features 80 full-service RV sites, a clay target storage building, lighted ranges, and shade areas.
