After the hunt around 12:30 all the birds will be cleaned and divided equally among the shooters. Lunch will be served in the clubhouse..
There will be 12 pheasants released for each shooter and the hunt will be limited to 24 shooters.
This shoot includes morning snacks, trap practice, 12 released pheasants, cleaned and packaged birds and lunch after the hunt.
The cost is $250/shooter. You can also share a stand with one other hunter for $300. Afternoon cleanup hunts are available at $25/hunter.   Fields will be assigned on a first come basis.
Participants are required to wear eye protection, blaze orange hats and vests. 12, 16 or 20 gauge shotguns are recommended.   Ammunition should be #6, high brass shells, no shot larger than #6 will be allowed for the Continental Shoot. It is suggested that you bring a minimum of 3 boxes of ammunition.
