Bethlehem, PA—ArtsQuest fans and shooting enthusiasts are invited to aim high as they come together to raise funds for the nonprofit’s free arts and education programming for the region during the inaugural ArtsQuest Sporting Clays Shoot Sept. 7, 8 a.m., at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays, 2750 Limestone St., Coplay. The event, presented by Cornerstone Advisors, includes a fun-filled day on the course, followed by lunch and awards presentation at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays’ lodge. Individual and team registrations can be made online at www.steelstacks.org or in person at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem.
During the sporting clays event, shooters visit 16 different shooting stations at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays’ course winding through woodlands and an old cement quarry, providing various shooting situations to challenge even the most skilled marksman. The event includes a couple of unique twists to the standard sporting clays shoot, including the opportunity to take aim at the coveted Musikfest Mug on one hole for the chance to win great prizes. The outing concludes with a delicious buffet lunch and the presentation of awards and prizes; awards, custom-blown at the ArtsQuest Glass Studio at the Banana Factory, will be presented to Top Team, Top Male and Top Female shooters.
Cost for the sporting clays tournament is $900 for a four-person team. Or, take advantage of the special early bird rate of $800 by registering by July 23. Entry fee includes 100 shells and clay targets, light breakfast, lunch and ArtsQuest Sporting Clays hat for all four shooters, as well as one golf cart per team. Individual shooters can also participate in the event at a cost of $200 per person.
