[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ow in its fifth year, the Hill Country Sporting Clay Competition has been raising funds for charity and bringing locals together for competitive shooting.
With the theme of “Only one can brag, the rest are lyin’,” the event promises a lot of competition and comraderie.
The shootout, put on by the Dripping Springs Knights of Columbus, will be held Aug. 26 at the Longhorn River Ranch outside of Dripping Springs.
Proceeds from the event support a variety of charitable activities, including funds for the Center of the Intrepid Soldiers at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Burke Center for Youth in Driftwood, Boy Scouts Eagle projects, college scholarships, St. Martin de Porres Youth Programs and Special Olympics.
The KCs are looking for sponsors for the event, with team sponsorship levels ranging from $250 to $5,000.
The site of the clay competition is a private 1,623 acre ranch on Ranch Road 165 with hilltop overlooks and winding riverbanks. The competition includes 15 clay-target stations with 100 clays per shooter at each station. Special games for the shooter will be set up at each station.
Awards for the top men’s, women’s and junior shooters will be given, and trophies are awarded to the top teams. Festivities continue after the shootout with a catered lunch, door prizes and drawings.
