Welcome to Thunder Ridge Sporting Clays and Game Farm and to the
2014 PA State Sporting Clays Championship. This is our 20th year
being involved in sporting clays. From the original Thunder Ridge
down the road, to Twin S, then on to Rock Mountain, and now home
again. We have seen the sport change and evolve into what it is
today. We want to thank everyone who has traveled this road with
us for the last 20 years. Hopefully next year we will become more
involved in actually shooting and see all of you on other courses.
We want to extend an invitation to you to bring your family along as
well. Within a short driving distance there are multiple recreational
facilities for family members to enjoy. Please visit our website for
information on various attractions in the area.
This year’s event will be coordinated with the combined efforts of Bill
Appel and Chuck Frazier. Chuck will be bringing in his Promatic traps
and also assist with target setting.
We are working diligently to attract additional competitors to allow
our shoot numbers in PA to continue to grow. Pre-registration is
available on winscoreonline.com
Thursday and Friday will be the shooting days for all preliminary and
sub-gauge events. Please plan to start early to complete these events
as you must be off the course by 4:00.
Any personal golf carts or 4 wheelers are welcome on the course.
They must, however, be equipped with vertical gun racks. No trailers
will be allowed on the course. Traffic will flow in one direction.
We look forward to your participation in this year’s event. Working
together, we can make this a memorable event for everyone.
Thunder Ridge reserves the right to alter this program if necessary
within PSCA guidelines.
With sincere thanks,
Thunder Ridge Management
