September is Sporting Clays Month in McHenry and Rockford! Join us for a great day!
The program started in the Blackhawk Area Council, BSA in the fall of 2000, as a means to raise money for local Scouting programs. What separates our event from others is that, while challenging, all shooters will be able to hit birds and have a good time. Some stations are tougher than others, and there is a wide variety of creatively planned shots. Shooters at the event come from all walks of life, including local business owners, professionals from various fields, and registered to casual shooters. Everybody is welcome as long as they are safe and have fun. This event has become one of the largest Sporting Clays shoots in the state of Illinois! This year we expect at least 240 shooters. Rockford is September 18th at the Upland Hunt Club, and the McHenry event is September 11th at the Richmond Hunt Club
