The Barton Community College Foundation Sporting Clay Shoot has become a staple in the event schedule of avid sportsmen across Kansas and beyond, drawing shooters from Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas. The 10th annual shoot is set for Sunday, April 14 at Camp Aldrich. 

It also serves as a unique way to advertise a business or honor a loved one while enhancing the quality of education offered to Barton students. Five sponsorship levels are available from $150 to $1,500 with varying degrees of visibility and accompanying benefits. 

Proceeds from the event funds faculty mini-grants. Often faculty members discover opportunities, equipment or other enhancements for their classrooms that will directly impact the learning experience for their students, but due to budget restraints those needs cannot be met without outside support. The annual Clay Shoot has provided more than $86,000 to ensure faculty deliver the highest level of academic excellence possible for all Barton students.

The shoot features a 12-station course that complements Camp Aldrich’s landscape. A side game of flurries is also available, which offer participants the opportunity to compete among themselves. The shoot begins at 9 a.m. with a shot-gun start throughout the day; the last shooters must start the course by 3 p.m. Pre-registration is preferred, but not required.
