Stephenville Evening Lions Club presents the Upland Bird Extravaganza!
For the 7th consecutive year, First Financial Bank will be the headline sponsor for the greatest shooting event in the Cross-Timbers area.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 23, 2022 and set your waypoint to the fabulous Rough Creek Lodge & Resort located on Hwy 67, 3 miles West of Glen Rose. These first-class facilities are the perfect location for shooters to show off their wing-shooting prowess and for a good time to be had by the whole family. In addition to our shooting events our pit-masters will be serving a first class lunch!
This year’s UBE Shooting Event will showcase:
Corporate 5 Stand:
- A highly competitive event open to business teams of 3 shooters with no two presentations the same. This event has seen some local domination over the past few years. Will this be the year for an upset or will the same ole’ teams do it again? Along with terrific awards, winners will get bragging rights and encouragement to strut their stuff for the next 12 months. $300 per team, each shooter must be employed by the entity.
Open 5 Stand:
- Don’t let the businesses hog all the fun here, be sure to get in a round of 5 Stand for yourself, too. 25 targets with no two presentations the same will combine your muscle memory, skills, and adrenaline for a quick and exciting challenge. Awards will be given for the top three individuals. $55 per shooter for one round of 5 Stand.
Open Sporting Clays:
- Whether you call it “golf with a shotgun” or “skeet in the woods” this event is for shooters of all levels. The course is 100 clay targets featuring simulated hunting presentations with lots of variability. Simple to learn, impossible to master, here is a game for everyone who likes to make noise and break clays. Memorable awards for the top 3 places and one for the cumulative champion. $125 per shooter for one round of Sporting Clays.
Knockout: We'll being playing at least two versions of Knockout and let the crowd determine the type game and amount of the buy in $$ for jackpots.
1) Annie Oakley (Non-pieces)- First shooter calls for the bird and shoots. If he hits, no one else can shoot and he is safe. If the first shooter misses, the second shooter shoots. If he hits, that knocks the 1st shooter out. If he misses, the third shooter shoots. If he hits, he knocks the 1st two out. If all three miss, all are safe. For the next round, the second shooter shoots first at the next target, with the 3rd and 4th backing on that target...and so on.
2) Bushwacker (Pieces)- SIMILAR to above EXCEPT: First shooter must hit the clay AND then second or next shooter has the option to shoot a piece of the clay if still flying: IF Second/next shooter hits a piece of the clay the first shooter or all shooters before who missed will be out.
Additional versions of the game can be played at any time so long as everyone knows the game at buy in.
