WELCOME SHOOTERS! We look forward to welcoming you to the 2007 Texas Sporting Clays State Championship. It is not only a pleasure but a honor to host this exciting event. Our goal is to make this a down home Texas homecoming for everyone to enjoy the competition and the camaraderie. The main battle will be held on the Bowie and Crockett courses. Charlie Wilson with Texas Parks and Wildlife will be on the Rio Ammo 5-Stand. Briley will be sponsoring the Briley Cup Prelim and Matarelli is the proud sponsor of the 50 Target Small Gauge Event. Vicki and Gil Ash will sponsor the OSP Cup on Sunday. Our experienced staff will include Bruce Herring and his students from Southeastern Illinois College as well as National and International Certified referees from San Antonio for the Legacy Ford FITASC Event. This championship event is guaranteed to run smooth and be reported faster than a duck on a June bug thanks to the work of Lois Lessing, Official Scorekeeper. Over $50,000 in prizes and awards will be given away throughout the shoot. The TSCA is sponsoring the trophies for all side events. Hinz Jewelry has designed a very special State Champion ring that will be awarded to HOA. We would like to encourage everyone to join us for the awards ceremony and a scrumptious BBQ dinner on Saturday evening. We will be giving away some great prizes thanks to Mark Colaw from Seymour s Garage, San Antonio. We would also like to thank all of our other sponsors who make our events such a success.
