What is a Charity Clay Shoot?

Sporting clays courses use clay discs targets launched to introduce the illusion of speed or distance in the eye of the competitor, moving at speeds or in the ways of game birds. We have breakfast, games, raffles, lunch, and prizes.

Benefiting

All proceeds of the Charity Clay Shoot fund the development of financial readiness programs that help combat financial insecurity amongst our service members and their families.

How does it work?

To participate in a round of sporting clays, each squad of four will compete at each station in order (individuals will be grouped into squads). Targets may be thrown from literally any angle or distance to simulate birds in flight and gives the participant the experience of actual hunting conditions.

Included

Breakfast, lunch, safety briefing, ear and eye protection, 100 shotshells/participant, 100 sporting clays/participant, one golf cart/squad, and access to pro shop.

Minors

The venue requires that children between the ages of 10 and 17 be accompanied on a 1:1 basis by an adult and that the accompanying adult maintain physical presence with the child at all times while in the range.

Available for Rental

There are a limited number of shotguns available from the pro shop on a first-come basis.
