Registration fees are $65 per adult or $250 per four-person team. Individuals who do not shoot but would still like to contribute may sponsor a shooting team.
Registration fee includes a meal and ammunition. Over $1500 in prizes will be awarded. Prize categories are top scoring team, top youth individual, top adult individual plus drawings for ghost clay shooters.
The event includes free hunting dog demonstrations by dog breeder Rod Brandenburger and ambulance tours conducted by Brookings Health System ambulance staff.
