The Corridor Clay Crushers is a shooting sports organization partnered with Corridor Outdoor Adventures in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City corridor. In the spring of 2025, they will operate with one high school athlete and two intermediate athletes. Tyler, Otto, and Caleb are excited about their upcoming season together.
The group volunteers in Ely and Amana for events including fundraising for the Ely Legion rifle club and assistance with the annual Hoosier Creek banquet.
In the fall of 2021, the Corridor Clay Crusher team coaches retired from college coaching as Kirkwood Community College incorporated shooting sports into their collegiate club program offerings! Congrats Coach Darren, we are excited for you! Happy to help with onboarding!
Shooting sports education engages the Ely American Legion post 5555 sharpshooter team and Basic Marksmanship Program.

Corridor Clay Crushers - Collegiate Team (2017 - 2021): Trap, Doubles, Handicap, Skeet Sporting Clays:
The "Corridor" Collegiate name comes from an East Central Iowa term for the "corridor" area that stretches between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City along Interstate 380. The Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Corridor of Linn, Benton, Cedar, Jones, Johnson, and Washington counties have a background with youth shooting sports in their middle schools and high schools.
For the Spring 2019 season, student athletes in this club were from Kirkwood Community College, Mt Mercy University and Warburg College.
All practice, entry fees, uniform and travel are paid for by each student athlete.
Student athletes on this team are primarily from the Interstate 380 and Interstate 80 corridor in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas and expands in either direction ~70 miles.
