Andrew Peercy to Oversee Nationally Recognized SCTP, with 105 Teams Statewide

The Tennessee Wildlife Federation (TWF) has named Andrew Peercy as Manager of its Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program (TNSCTP), one of the largest and most successful programs of its kind in the nation. Peercy has served as the head coach of the TNSCTP team at Battle Ground Academy in Franklin since 2006.

“Andrew served this past year as the Region 2 trap director and did an exemplary job,” said Chad Whittenburg, TWF’s director of outreach. “With more than 100 teams statewide, the program has grown to the point where it deserved a statewide manager, and we’re excited to have Andrew’s leadership as we continue to build this sport in Tennessee.”

Born and raised in Franklin, Tennessee, Peercy is a graduate of Battle Ground Academy (BGA) and Vanderbilt University, where he earned a bachelor of engineering degree in computer engineering and mathematics. He served as database administrator for Williamson County Schools before returning to school to earn his MBA from Texas A&M University.  Upon graduation, he joined the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in the Medicaid Fraud division, and later returned to BGA to work in the technology department. He started BGA’s TNSCTP program in 2006 and has served as the head coach ever since.

More than 2,250 elementary school to college-aged students across the state compete in the trap, skeet, sporting clays, and international trap and skeet divisions. TNSCTP has produced nine national champion teams since 2005, placed first in overall medal count in 2005, 2006 and 2010 at the Trap National Championships, and has crowned 15 state champions in the five divisions over the last three years.

Founded in 1946, the Tennessee Wildlife Federation is the oldest and largest non-profit organization in Tennessee dedicated to the conservation, sound management and enjoyment of Tennessee's wildlife and natural resources for current and future generations through stewardship, advocacy and education.
