The Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce invites sporting clay enthusiasts, both beginners and experts, to the Fourth Annual Sporting Clay Shoot on Nov. 13 at Selwood Farm.
The shoot will begin at 9 a.m. following registration and a light breakfast. Lunch will be served after the shoot.
This year, there will be an additional contest called the Cotton Drop, where $10 gives one the opportunity for a share of the Cotton Drop pot. More details will be revealed the day of the shoot.
“The Chamber’s Fourth Annual Sporting Clay Shoot allows for our members and their guests to enjoy an outdoor sporting event at a prestigious facility in Selwood Farm, and provides for some excellent business networking opportunities where people can build on their current business relationships and make new contacts,” said Chamber Director Kirk Mancer said.
Selwood Farm, owned and operated by Dell and Carolyn Hill, received a five-star rating from the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Located in East-Central Alabama between Talladega and Sylacauga, the farm includes a covered five-stand for warm-up and training and a 100-target course.
Dell Hill explained that clay shooting is a recreational sport involving clay targets with varying degrees of shooting difficulty. Hill said he is proud the chamber has chosen his farm to host the event.
“We were the first sporting clay range in the state when we opened in 1990,” Hill said. “We’ve worked to improve and expand since then. We’ve hosted a number of nonprofits.”
Sponsorships for the shooting event are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Contact the Chamber office at 663-4542 for more information.
