LRA Northwest Chapter to Host Clay Shoot

The Louisiana Restaurant Association (LRA) Northwest Chapter will host its annual clay shoot Saturday, August 24, 2013 at Los Paloma Sporting Range in Benton, La. Competition begins at 9 a.m.

Participants can choose from two different shooter packages: the .12 Gauge includes a five-man team, lunch and t-shirts and is $500; the .20 Gauge includes a single-shooter entry, lunch and t-shirt and is $125. Prizes will be awarded to the top team and raffle tickets, mulligans and a wobble station shoot will be available for purchase. 

Ammunition is limited to field loads only (3 ¼ drams powder max and shot size no larger than 7 ½) and no gun larger than a 12-gauge. Participants must bring their own ammo. None will be available at the event.

This annual fundraiser will support the LRA Education Foundation (LRAEF) and the LRA’s political advocacy efforts. The LRAEF is governed by a board of directors made up of restaurants, industry experts and educators in the hospitality industry. As the philanthropic foundation of the LRA, the LRAEF exists to enhance our community through expanded educational and career opportunities, the formation of strategic partnerships and the elevation of our professional standards and practices. 

The LRA Northwest Chapter would like to thank the clay shoot’s sponsors: Gibsland Bank & Trust, Reinhart Food Service, Landers Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM, Eagle Distributing Shreveport, Z107.5, Republic National Distributing Company, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo Foodservice.
