Professionals from Marco Polo Outfitters L.C. and Beretta® will be on hand to demo shotguns and provide training for shooters, and Cabela’s® representatives will also be available on-site during the event.

Tickets for the upcoming “Shoot for a Cure” event are $160 for 50 rounds of shooting, or $200 for 100 rounds of shooting. Both of the shooting sports tickets include all clays and shells. Guests choosing not to participate in the shotgun sports can purchase tickets for $95 per person. All tickets include the buffet dinner and other Club activities.
