This year’s Berk’s County Open will be held on October 2nd & 3rd and be a 100-bird Sporting Clays championship course set in our beautiful wooded setting incorporating some of our new traps equipped with infinity trap bases, which can throw new and unusual target presentations. We’ll have targets from basic to challenging…something for every level shooter …come join us in the fun. Here’s more about the event:
There will be $1500.00 in prize money divided among 6 age classes, a lady’s class, a sub-gauge class and a 200 target combined HOA class. Each class will pay $100.00 to the winner and $40.00 to second place. Shooters will have the option to shoot 1 day for the class championship money or both days. The 1st time you shoot will be for score and the second time for the added $225.00 combined score HOA prize money. You may shoot twice in the same day for the combined score prize if you are able to re-squad. Pre-registration is highly recommended but shooters who are not pre-scheduled, will be added to the next available squad at the time of the shoot. The price for each 100 birds is $50.00 and you automatically get entered to win 3 lucky draw prizes. Should we have a tied score, it will be decided by long run.

Typically a golf cart is not needed and we do not have any to rent. Since you will be carrying 100 rounds of ammo a hand/gun cart would work nicely but really not necessary. Our course is a short walk through our lovely wooded setting. If you have your own cart feel free to bring it.
