Join the fun: Sporting clays shoot fundraiser at Orvis Hill
A Sporting Clays Shoot Fundraiser is set to be held at Orvis Hill Country Shooting Grounds, 519 Gladhill Road, Fairfield, Pennsylvania.
The event on Friday, May 9, which will benefit Buttonwood Nature Center, will kick-off at 9 a.m. and conclude at 1.30 p.m.
According to a community announcement, the fundraiser includes morning refreshments, safety instructions, ear and eye protection, 15 outdoor shooting stations with 100 clay targets, water and various snacks, and a lunch.
Jessica Watson, Buttonwood's assistant director and event coordinator, said, "This is our third year hosting this exciting event. This is a chance to get outside, test your sportsman skills, and have fun while supporting Buttonwood Nature Center."
Participants take aim at clay targets during a previous Buttonwood Nature Center Sporting Clay Shoot Fundraiser at Orvis Hill Country Shooting Grounds. This year's event is on Friday, May 9.
The 15-station course at Orvis Hill Country provides panoramic 10-mile views at some of the stations. Groups of four or five rotate through and face a variety of clay target presentations.
Trophies will be awarded by Orvis Hill for first, second and third place.
A registration fee of $125 per person is applicable for those ages 18 and older, which includes access to all the amenities and activities.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own shotgun and ammunition, although Orvis Hill Country has a limited number of shotguns for rent, and ammunition can be bought at the clubhouse. Golf carts will also be available for rent.
Buttonswood is set to sell raffle and 50/50 tickets at the event.
The event has found backing from the lead sponsors The Eagles Club of Waynesboro and The Owls Club of Waynesboro.
Additional station sponsors include Fortunate Son Enterprises, Honey Bee Auto Sales, Farrar's Gunsmith, Hammer Down Customs, Country Sealcoatings & Paving, and American Custom Auto Care. Support is also acknowledged from the Today's Horizon Fund Contributors.
Registration is open on the Buttonwood Nature Center's website at
