Sporting Clays Classic

For over 30 years, the Sporting Clays Classic has brought together leaders who share a deep connection to the land and a commitment to its future. Now in its 31st year, and held during the America250 celebration, this signature event reflects a legacy of stewardship across National Forests and Grasslands.

More than a sponsorship, this one-day event is an invitation into a trusted community of conservationists, business leaders, and philanthropists. Sponsors host teams, build meaningful relationships in the field, and become part of a long-standing tradition of impact. Your support directly helps advance trail restoration, reforestation, and watershed protection across public lands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I attend Horizons without participating in Sporting Clays, or attend Sporting Clays without the full Horizons weekend?
Yes. Horizons and Sporting Clays are two separate experiences, and you are welcome to participate in either event independently.

Do I have to choose one or the other?
No. You can attend Horizons, Sporting Clays, or both. While each experience stands on its own, they are designed to complement one another for those who choose to participate in both.
