You may have done golf outings. You may have walked for a cure. But, when was the last time you picked up a gun and shot for a cause…..?

On Friday, August 27th, a “Sporting Clay” fundraiser will be held in honor of USMC Sgt. Christopher Hrbek’s Memorial Scholarship Fund. The event runs from 07:30 to about 16:00 (4pm). Your $150 donation will get you: door prize tickets, T-shirt, 16oz mug, 100 clay pigeon targets, 100 rounds shotgun ammo, Continental Breakfast, Buffet Lunch, and Social Get Together. The Shooting Challenge will take place at the Mid-Hudson Sporting Clay Range in New Paltz, NY.

Sporting clays is a form of clay pigeon target shooting. As a foursome (like golf) you will travel a walking trail with 16-22 target stations. At each station, you will shoot at different flying clay targets. You can rent a shotgun as well as a golf cart, both for an extra charge. Please bring a carpenters’ apron to hold your ammo. You must provide your own eye and ear protection. You will not be able to participate without them.
