WAYNESBORO—The Institute is hosting a Sporting Clays Shoot Fundraiser on Friday, May 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Orvis Hill Country Shooting Grounds in Fairfield.
A new fundraiser for The Institute, the event includes morning refreshments, safety instructions, ear and eye protection gear, 15 outdoor shooting stations with 100 clay targets, water and snacks, and a catered lunch.
“This new event is a chance to get outside, test your sportsman skills, and have fun while supporting The Institute,” said Jessica Watson, the Institute’s assistant director and event coordinator.
The 15-station course at Orvis Hill Country takes advantage of the topography of the region with panoramic 10-mile views at some of the stations. Groups of four or five rotate through the stations and are challenged by a diversity of clay target presentations.
Orvis Hill will award prizes for first, second and third place winners.
The registration fee is $125 per person, and is open to those age 18 or older.
Participants may bring their own shotgun and ammunition. Orvis Hill Country has a limited supply of shotguns to rent, and ammunition can be purchased in the club house. A limited number of golf carts are also available to rent.
The Institute will sell raffle and 50/50 tickets at the event.
