The second annual Herbert Mackey Memorial is now a sporting clays event and will be held at The Farm in New Albany, IN on Saturday August 10th.
The Kentucky Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, supported by the Kentuckiana Safari Club, sponsored the “Sine Die Shootout” in 2023, which kicked off this exciting shooting event! This year we are partnering with Kentuckiana SCI once again to conduct a sporting clays event that will feature: the “Legislative Top Gun” competition and the Herbert Mackey Memorial Championship.
The Legislative Top Gun is where all 89 members of the Kentucky Legislature’s Sportsmen’s Caucus are invited to shoot a five stand sporting clays competition for the right to be crowned the “Legislative Top Gun.” This is a great opportunity for BHA members to meet and engage with the elected officials that help determine usage of our Kentucky natural resources.
The Herbert Mackey Memorial Championship combines the Kentuckiana Safari Club sporting clays club championship with the Kentucky BHA trap tournament. The event is open to the public and all shooters will shoot the standard sporting clays course in an abbreviated round of 50 targets, at “The Farm.”
Shooters have three options:
(1) If you are a Kentuckiana Safari Club member you can shoot free of charge for the SCI chapter championship (all SCI Members Sign up at the event). SCI members MAY sign up for the Herbert Mackey Memorial Cup Competition at the competition ticketed price.
(2) Compete for the Herbert Mackey Memorial Cup and the competition Grand Prize, a 20ga Weatherby Shotgun and the Herbert Mackey Memorial Trophy, AND bragging rights! Ticket price covers an abbreviated round of 50 clay targets. Shooters must provide their own shells.
(3) Just come for a casual round and enjoy the comradery of like-minded folks that share a passion for the outdoors and conservation. (Casual rounds will pay at the facility)
We have some sweet raffle items for the event too! Everyone can enter!
Once this fun shooting event concludes we will head on over to the Exchange Pub in New Albany to complete the evening! Please get your tickets below, share the event, and we will see ya there!
