How It Works:
The event opens at 8:30 am for registration, and the shooting starts at 9:00 am and runs until 2:00 pm. You may show up anytime, but we suggest you shoot before 1:00 pm. The location is in a large open field providing ample space for parking, eating, kids events, and the ranges with spectator viewing areas.
There are four stations: single clays, double clays, .22 range, and 3D Archery. Typically, only one person shoots on the clays range at a time. The .22 is a short walk from the clays range, and only one person is allowed to shoot at a time.
Please keep your children supervised at all times.
Clay Shoot
Participants have the opportunity to shoot 25 clays with their shotgun or a furnished shotgun and are scored according to how many they hit.
Shooters who hit 20 or more clays are entered into a drawing to win the 20+ Clays competition.
22 Shoot – Standard Target
Shooters will shoot at a standard target using a furnished .22 rifle with five shots.
There will be two age categories: 13+ and 12 & Under.
The winner of each category will win a $25 Gift Certificate to Wright's Sporting Goods.
Double Shoot
Tickets are available at the launching station for $10. Additional tickets can be purchased for $10.
You will enter the shooter in a drawing to win the Double Shoot Prize if both clays are hit.
3D Archery
Ten targets will be set up, with two shots at each target. Various prizes will be awarded.
Cornhole
Two-player teams will consist of adults and children ages five and up.
Sponsorship
Each participant may choose to collect pledges and donations from family and friends before the shoot. The collection of pledges is encouraged but not required. Shooters who turn in donation pledges of $100 or more will be entered in a drawing for the Sponsorship Prize. Every $100 donated and pledged gets you one chance in the drawing. For example: $1,000 in donations and pledges equals 10 entries. Pledges are an amount per clay pigeon hit. For example, your friend will donate $2/pigeon that you hit and hit 18. Your friend will owe $36.00 (2 x 18 = $36).
Chili Cook-Off
Back this year is the Chili Cook-Off! Sample the chili with your lunch and vote for your favorite. The winner will receive a new Crock Pot. You do not need to purchase lunch to participate in sampling and voting for the best chili.
Kids' Events
They also have a sponsorship competition. For participation in raising sponsorships and donations, kids will be entered to win a Gift Card. Attendance is not required to win.
