BSA Clay Classic

The Pacific Harbors Council of the Boy Scouts of America will host the inaugural BSA Clay Classic on September 15th, 2018, at the Evergreen Sportsman’s Club in Olympia. The event is to raise money for the Friends of Scouting program which supports Scouting activities, scholarships and camp improvements in the South Sound area.

There will be a flurry shoot, games, and practice rounds before the event as well as prize opportunities during the luncheon portion of the event.
The BSA Clay Classic is a traditional sporting clay event, a form of clay pigeon shooting, often described as “golf with a shotgun.” The course includes 13 different shooting stations laid out over natural terrain that simulates the unpredictability of live-quarry shooting, offering a great variety of trajectories, angles, speeds, elevations, distances, and target sizes. The event is limited to 13 teams of six shooters.
