Club Events
President’s Shoot / Club Championship
The President’s Shoot / Club Championship is a member-only event that is held in the summer.
It is a series of handicapped individual events, consisting of trap, skeet, 5-stand, and sporting clays. Participants can shoot one, or multiple, events, and may shoot them as many times as they want.
Awards are given for the top shooters in each event, and for top shooters who shoot all events.
Awards for the President’s Shoot are given at the Club’s annual meeting.
Black Friday Shoot
On the Friday after Thanksgiving, we hold a fun shoot that includes all of the shotgun sports, with turkeys awarded for random drawings, Lewis Class, and event winners.
Holiday Shoot
Members can participate in this annual fun shoot, which is held in December.
Fundraising Shoots
Each year we host several fundraising shoots. Recent shoots have included:
Ducks Unlimited
