This event is a great opportunity for business networking or rewarding clients interested in hunting and conservation. Bring your Dad to thank him for introducing you to the outdoors, or your kids to learn about conservation. Our Minnesota forest wildlife biologist, Russ Sewell, will answer questions about land management and upland bird hunting.  

Pictured is the 2008 sponsor print. As always, many guns will be raffled, along with auction items, merchandise and games of skill and chance. This year we will have a rifle included in the prizes. If you have a nice used gun or a new gun you won elsewhere that you don't use, consider donating it to the banquet for a raffle.

Sporting Clays Shoot at Wild Marsh 2008
Saturday May 31
download flyer .pdf

Need to walk a fine wooded clays course on a summer day?
Raise a little money for grouse and woodcock conservation, and the lunch is on us!

Wild Marsh Sporting Clays near Clear Lake is our host again this year. This is a 100-clay shoot (open to everyone), with lunch and prizes following. 2 boxes Federal target loads provided per shooter. Entry $70.
Dust off those scatterguns, your shell shuckers and autos, stack barrel and twin pipes double guns! Then follow the smell of brats on the grill, set up a camp chair under the shade trees, and we provided the cookin’ before the raffles. Four side event shooting games challenge: Towering Grouse, Grouse Walk, Woodcock Flurry, and Fast & Furious Grouse.
Sporting Clays is the closest thing to actual field shooting of all shotgun sports. Rather than using standardized distances, target angles and target sizes, sporting clays courses are designed to simulate the hunting of ducks, pheasants and even rabbits. Six different sizes of clay targets give the participant the experience of actual hunting conditions, so you can see why the sport is so popular with hunters.

Our host, Wild Marsh Sporting Clays, is an outstanding facility that offers a variety of shooting opportunities on 80 acres of land nestled among the majestic norway pine and the mighty oaks of central Minnesota. 12 miles North of Becker on CR 23, Left at CCR3, 1.2 miles. (320) 743-4960
