FEATURED EXPERIENCES

What's Waiting For You at Shotgun Fest

Champion Coaching

Train alongside one of the best in the game. Cory Kruse brings champion-level sporting clays instruction to Shotgun Fest in both intimate small-group Friday sessions and a larger Saturday clinic. Whether you're chasing a personal best or breaking clays for the first time, this is instruction you won't find anywhere else.

Tickets Coming Soon!

Manufacturer Demo Bays

Try before you buy. The top shotgun manufacturers in the country will have guns on the range and ready to shoot — with ammo and targets provided. This is your chance to get hands-on with the guns you've been watching on TFL.

Shooting Challenges & Games

Frantic Flurry. Can Cannon Crosser. 100-Yard Clay Challenge. These aren't your average shooting games — they're high-energy, crowd-pleasing competitions that'll push your skills and keep you coming back for more.

Competitions

Put your skills to the test across multiple disciplines. Compete in the Sporting Clays 100 or the ShotTracker Trap 100 tournaments, or jump into open rounds of skeet and 5-Stand throughout the day. Whether you're chasing a score or just looking to break more targets, there's a station for every shooter at Shotgun Fest.

Annie Oakley Championship

The Annie Oakley Championship is Shotgun Fest's signature finale — and earning your spot is part of the experience. VIP Night attendees who won a round on Friday evening are already qualified for the Championship Round on Saturday. For Saturday attendees, qualifying begins at 5:00 PM through the Annie Oakley tournament, where anyone who wins a round secures their place in the Championship. Once qualifying wraps up, the Championship round kicks off immediately, bringing all qualifiers together to compete for the perpetual trophy — a permanent piece of Shotgun Fest history engraved with every champion's name.
