The third annual sporting clays event raises money for wetlands conservation

The Third Annual Ducks Unlimited Ducks in the Timber Eastern Continental Shoot was held May 1-5, at the Cross Creek Clays in Palmyra, Tenn.

The competition, presented by Weatherby Firearms, Reeds Family Outdoor Outfitters, Federal Ammunition and Turnbull Restoration, hosted skilled sporting clay shooters from around North America supporting wetlands conservation and shooting for thousands of dollars in prizes.

“We are very thankful to our many supporters, sponsors and volunteers for helping to make this event so successful,” said DU National Shoot Chairman Joe Mazon. “Everyone involved works hard to make sure our Ducks in the Timber event is one shooters want to attend year after year.”

This year, the Ducks in the Timber Shoot featured the 100-target preliminary and 200-target Main Events, 50-target sub-gauge and Super Sporting, 5-STAND events and a practice 5 Stand and Long Bird competition that included chances to win guns and prizes. This year the event also featured entertainment and a Saturday night banquet.

Robert Redmond was the High Overall Shooter in the Main Event with a total score of 189. For complete shoot results visit scorechaser.com.
