This weekend, we traveled across the country, to San Jose, California, to participate in the 2nd Annual Silicon Valley Sporting Clays for Scouting event, where Beretta was the title sponsor.The proceeds of the event will help over 16,000 Boy Scouts in the local area.
The Sporting clays event was held at Coyote Valley Sporting Clays in Morgan Hill, CA.
Beretta donated 30 guns for the event for prizes, auction, and shooting samples for the stations all to help raise money for scouting!
On the evening of October 14, we attended a raffle, silent auction, and standard auction to raise money for scouting.
The following day we had the main event, with teams squaring off to bring home a piece of the over $20,000 in prizes and giveaways. Over 140 shooters were in attendance.
Many teams showed up with their own guns and I am proud to say most of them were Berettas!
10 stations--6 shots per station for 60 targets total.
Beretta sample guns were located at each station so that the participants had a chance to shoot
the entire line of shotgun offerings from Beretta, including our A400Xtreme, Xplor and Xcel.Some of the most sought-after guns, however, were our Silver Pigeon over and unders.
Many positive comments were made about the multitude of offerings, the natural swing and balance of the guns, and the legendary Beretta performance.
The course was challenging, with a multitude of target presentations--singles, following pairs, and true pairs at each station.
Everyone had a wonderful time. Many personal best scores were
shot (with Beretta shotguns, no doubt) and everyone was a winner, at the end of the day (some were just more winners than others!)We are excited to think about the fact that, thanks to the success of this event, which had a record turnout, and the generous donation from Beretta, the Boy Scouts will certainly have another successful year in their mission to introduce the youth of the area to the wonderful character-building programs offered by the Boy Scouts of America.
