A roughly four‑hour sporting‑clays event in Lakeland — firearms, ammo, and eye/ear protection provided — ideal for families and small groups.
Sporting Clays at Tenoroc: A Half‑Day Shotgun Session Where Targets Fly.
Meet at the public Tenoroc shooting range for a family‑oriented sporting‑clays experience: a guided shotgun day that begins with a briefing at the range office and moves to the stations where clay targets are thrown from machines around the course. The day is built for bird‑hunters looking to hone wing‑shooting skills but remains accessible to novices; eye and ear protection, firearms and ammunition are supplied and breaks are taken as needed.

What the day feels like
What the day feels like
You begin at the Tenoroc Public Shooting Range office at 9:00 a.m. with a short history of the business and an introduction to the range, rules and regulations, then move out to the stations for a firearms and range‑safety briefing. Unlike static paper targets, the clays are launched by machines — some concealed — so targets fly through different angles and break into shards when struck. The format is designed to simulate bird hunting, offers a bit more challenge than a typical rifle or pistol session, and accommodates novices with breaks and onsite support.
