About

WHO ARE WE?

Georgia Youth Education in Shooting Sports (GAYESS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. As a state affiliate of USA Youth Education in Shooting Sports (USAYESS), GAYESS is the state’s only all-inclusive provider of shooting sports in elementary through high school as an extracurricular co-ed activity. The organization’s priorities are to provide a safe and fun family environment under annually certified adult supervision. GAYESS oversees American Skeet, American Trap, Sporting Clays, Olympic Skeet, and Olympic Trap at local, state, and championship tournaments and virtual leagues in and throughout the state. 
GAESS is also proud to be partnered with the nation’s largest collegiate clay target program, the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) thus providing a bridge into collegiate marksmanship programs. Both GAYESS and ACUI are national partners with the MidwayUSA Foundation and, therefore, are able to provide teams with perpetual endowment funding.
