Funding at the Point of a Shotgun
Posted by admin under: fundraising .
Just heard about this today, which is a coincidence considering my troop just had a shooting outing. The Boy Scouts of America, Western Los Angeles County Council is having a shooting fundraiser.
Please join us and other friends in our community who enjoy the shotgun shooting sports to directly benefit youth in the Boy Scout program. Be part of the action by registering to participate in Triple Clays Fun Shoot or by becoming a corporate sponsor of this fun event.
Participation is limited to 150 shooters. OFFICIAL REGISTRATION BEGINS JANUARY 9, 2009.
Competitors will shoot 100 targets: 50 sporting clays, 25 skeet and 25
trap. All levels of shooters are invited, from beginners to experts. Since the scoring will be based on the Lewis Class system, all shooters
have a chance to win prizes. Awards will be presented to our top teams and also to individual competitors in 3 levels of competition. Details of the event are as follows:

Triple Clays Fun Shoot
In support of Boy Scouts of America, Western LA County Council
Triple B Clays Shotgun Sports Park
60 Freeway at Rosemead in South El Monte
The cost of the event is $195 per individual participant or $975 for a
5-person team. Included in the cost, shooters will receive 100 12 gauge shotgun shells to use at the event, a continental breakfast in the morning, lunch, a Fun Shoot t-shirt and hat, and one raffle ticket for entry in our drawing to win a Benelli Supersport 12 gauge Shotgun.
You may bring your own shotgun or rent one from Triple B Clays. Don’t
forget to bring ear and eye protection, and a vest or bag for your
shells. These items are for sale at Triple B Clays if you need them.
Guns, ammunition, shooting accessories and other valuable items will be given away as prizes at a raffle or awarded to the highest bidders at a live auction and silent auction.
Hoo-boy. I don’t have the Benjamins for this kind of event. Funny, though, I tried to talk my troop’s shooting sports advisors into doing a shooting fundraiser and they thought the council wouldn’t go for it. Less than a month later the council anounces this. I guess they’re okay with it.
Lewis Class? LOL. Don’t come in second place! Oooh. The Benelli is pretty.
