All proceeds from this event will go directly to Operation Recovery and support programs to help veterans find hope in recovery by providing them with a safe place to heal physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Operation Recovery is a non-profit organization committed to assisting veterans in overcoming the physical and emotional challenges they face after service.

The Venue
Tampa Bay Sporting Clays is more than just a shooting range. We’re located on 260 acres of wooded terrain and provide a unique facility for the Tampa Bay area perfect for an afternoon away or for a corporate event.
Their skeet range has eight shooting stations and two trap houses. Seven of the eight stations are arranged half-moon between the two trap houses, and the eighth station is positioned directly between them. The high house on the left side of the field throws its targets from a trap 10 feet above the ground.
The target travels to the center of the field and rises to a height of 15 feet. On the right side, the low house throws its targets from only 3½ feet, but they also rise to 15 feet by the time they reach the center of the field. Each skeet round contains 25 targets.
