BLACKLIGHT TRAP & BBQ
Friday, October 2 | Check-in at 5:30 PM
Blacklight Trap takes traditional trap shooting and turns it into a completely different experience after dark. Under blacklights, shooters take aim at fluorescent clay targets glowing against the night sky.
Add BBQ, music, games, prizes, and a great crowd, and you have one unforgettable way to kick off Clay Classic weekend.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Friday night is included with your Clay Classic squad registration. Each squad may bring five Friday night shooters, with one round of 25 Blacklight Trap clays and ammunition provided for each shooter.
Your Friday night shooters do not have to be the same squad members competing on Saturday, so mix it up and bring some friends!
Dinner includes your choice of ribs, pork steak, or bone-in half chicken from Vaughn’s Pit Stop BBQ, along with sodas and refreshments.
You’ll also enjoy music, sponsor door prizes, giveaways, and games throughout the evening.
