Please join us for the 18th Annual Children’s Home Sporting Clays Classic held on March 31, 2012 at Tampa Bay Sporting Clays located at 10514 Ehren Cutoff, Land O’ Lakes, FL 34639. Known as the largest sporting clays shoot in the state of Florida and founded by honorary chairman, General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, this event surely pulls the trigger on excitement. For the novice or experienced shooter, all guests will enjoy a full round of clays, delicious lunch and entertainment.

We have two unique events this year. First, we are excited to announce a special performance by Tom Knapp http://www.tomknapp.net/ Tom is recognized as the greatest exhibition shooter of modern times. He has thrilled countless shooters with seemingly impossible feats with a shotgun. Those who register for the Children’s Home event, the performance for Tom Knapp is included in the registration fee. In addition, his performance is open to the general public for $25. The exhibition will start approximately at 1:30PM.

Secondly, all the way from England we have bought a challenging shooting experience. GNAT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLLAKnVej9o which is a radio controlled airplane which you shoot. It is a target like no other, capable of speeds up to 80 mph. It zips by, shows a flash of its belly and pulls up into a steep climb. With each hit, it sets off a pyrotechic charge, a puff of smoke and keeps flying. This exhibition cost $25/ shooter which includes 5 passes and ammunition. This shooting experience is scheduled for all day March 31 and April 1, 2012.

Again, please join us for a day of fun and excitement. Go to www.childrenshome.org for more information and registration. See you at the event.

Dear friends,family and fellow shooters:

Not sure if you have been to this event, or heard of it, but I am chairing it this year and is special in so many ways. The cause is close to me because I know several people with this terrible disease and the cure is very close & very obtainable. All it takes is support and help and it will go away! More info can be read on www.curefa.org

As a member of the Hunters & Liars Club, we  have designed this event to be upscale and very nice. With Carrabba’s as the lead sponsor, live entertainment, wine tasting by Southern Wine & Spirits, cooking classes by Carrabba’s  well-known chef’s, message girls –for the sore shoulders after the shoot-and of course target shooting -50 rounds- as well. The venue is set at TBSC- www.mytbsc.com – under the Pavilion and starts at 3pm and ends about 8:30pm. Registration is 2pm. Please reserve your space soon. We will be capping this out at 150 shooters.

Tampa Bay Sporting Clays has introduced a corporate “team building” activity at the club. Sporting Clays is a fun & exciting way to hold corporate meetings and bond with fellow employees.

Relax under our 4000 sqft pavilion and shoot some targets for fun or compete with others. You will see, a day at the shooting club, will enable your customers or employees, the opportunity to relax away from the office, and release tension and unwanted stress.  

TBSC have entertained bankers, executives, lawyers, financing companies, appraisers, rotary clubs, chambers throughout the state and all types of charity events. We will design a course set specifically for your type of shooter and I guarantee everyone will go home having a wonderful time.

We have developed a basic formula of $65.00 per person which includes the following: 

• 50 rounds of targets
• 50 rounds of shells
• Use of a shotgun
• Use of a golf cart
• Use of the Pavilion
• Use of the audio/visual amenities/wired & wireless internet
• Also a 5 stand competition-10 targets per person
• We can also arrange lunch, delivered by Hungry Harrys BBQ, for an additional cost of approx. $10.00 per person.

Most importantly, we need to nail down a date and collect a deposit. The weekdays, Wed-Friday, are best for these venues due to the public and charity events we have during the weekends. 

You can also visit our calendar of events at http://mytbsc.com/event-calendar/ for current booking and up to date events. Check out our web at www.mytbsc.com and we can discuss details at any time.

See you soon at the club!!
