BMC Hosts a Very Successful Sporting Clay Championships
Never say hard work never pays off! For months, Brushy Mountain Club in quiet southside Hurt, Virginia was busy in preparation for the 2020 Virginia State Sporting Clay Championship. The first date noted was in June, but with the arrival of COVID-19, the shoot date was moved to October 15-18.
Excitement was abounding as the number of registered shooters grew and grew and grew to what was the largest Virginia sporting clay shoot. Approximately 240 shooters were expected and the hustle was on for their arrival on October 15. With logistics in place for parking to accommodate trucks with trailers loaded with SxSs, ATVs, & golf carts, car parking, camping sites, registration, and food services, Brushy Mountain Club definitely had everything ready to greet its guests.
Tommy Freeman, BMC sporting clay chair, worked diligently with other club members to prepare the facility. Barry Moore was the leading force in setting most of the competition courses. Registration was handled by Brenda Davis and Jacob Davis and were assisted by a team of ladies who helped distribute, assemble and proof score cards. BMC President Frank Davis was instrumental in leadership, assembling a great team of trappers and overseeing the many particulars to make everything work smoothly. With his team of helpers, things were ready.
The beautiful fall weather was perfect for the shoot. Nice cooler temperatures averaging in the mid to upper 60s and dipping into the 40s at night was welcoming.
The championship event offered the Prelim, the Main, super sporting, FITASC, 5 stand, sub gauge and SXS Pump.
The bottom line of it was after all of the hard work, the club cleared approximately $55,000!
Brushy Mountain Club appreciates all who attended the event and could not have made it without the many people who helped make it a tremendous success.
Appreciation is also extended to the Liberty shooting team who stepped in to help carry the shoot to the end with entering scores and working on the final touches. Thank you to Jon Britton and his team of fine young men and women.
