WAYNESBORO, Pa. – Buttonwood Nature Center is hosting a Sporting Clays Shoot Fundraiser on Thursday, May 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Orvis Hill Country Shooting Grounds in Fairfield, Pa.
A fundraiser for Buttonwood, 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 is our fourth year hosting this exciting event,” said Jessica Watson, Buttonwood’s assistant director and event coordinator. “This is a chance to get outside, test your sportsman skills, and have fun while supporting Buttonwood Nature Center.”
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 trophies for first, second and third place winners.
The registration fee is $125 per person, and is open to those age 18 or older. The fee includes coffee and donuts during registration; ear and eye protection gear; 15 shooting stations with 100 targets; water & snacks, and a catered lunch.
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.
Buttonwood will sell tickets for a basket raffle and 50/50 during the event.
The fundraiser is underwritten in part by lead sponsors The Eagles Club of Waynesboro and The Owls Club of Waynesboro. At press time, station sponsors include American Custom Auto Care, Farrar’s Firearms, Fortunate Son Enterprises, Hammer Down Customs and M&T Bank.
