That’s a wrap on the 2026 Spring League at Defender Outdoors Clay Sports Ranch!

We want to thank all 125 participants who joined us for our annual 8-week Spring League. This season brought a ton of great shooting, tough competition, and plenty of fun on the course. We wrapped it all up with an awesome League Party where everyone got together to socialize, enjoy a great dinner, and celebrate this season’s award winners.

The scores this spring were outstanding, and we’re proud to recognize this season's top shooters and teams!
