In this ZoneTalk episode, Bob sits down with Jordan Hintz, a clays coach at Hillsdale College in Michigan, whom he has worked with in the past. Bob asks Jordan for some insights into just what is involved in competing in clays shooting for a college team. What he discovered sounds really exciting.  

Although Hillsdale has limited places each year on their clay target team, they do have spots available. Better yet, Jordan believes that there is a school match across the US for just about any student who wants to pursue the sport of clays shooting while studying for their degree.  

Listen to the podcast for Bob’s entire discussion with Jordan Hintz on his recommendations for what students can do to incorporate their sport into their planning for their college years.
