  About the tournament

  This sporting clays event is designed for both experienced shooters and novices. Proceeds support VARP’s operations. Companies are encouraged to sponsor generously and use the event to entertain clients and reward their star employees.

  The tournament will consist of 5-person teams, 100 targets per person, and 16 stations plus a turkey shoot contest. Registration is limited to 17 teams. Because team registrations are limited, preference will be given to teams with at least one VARP member. Your team is not confirmed until your payment is received by VARP. If you do not receive a receipt, your team is not considered reserved.

  Boxed lunches are provided for teams and volunteers. Each team will get 1 golf cart and entry into the Turkey Shoot Contest for each shooter. Plaques will be given for the “Top Gun” and the top 3 teams.

  Raffle

  Tickets for the raffle will be sold online until the Friday before the tournament. This raffle is open to all VARP members. Proceeds go to support VARP's operations related to education, advocacy, and workforce development. Drawing will be held at the event.  You do not have to be present to win a grand prize. 

  Grand Raffle Prizes: There are two separate grand raffle prizes this year: 1) the winner's choice of a shotgun, pistol, or rifle sponsored by Hale Associates, and 2) a $700 gift card to Green Top to purchase your choice of gun or other outdoor sporting equipment.
