1996 SPE Sporting Clays Classic


On September 20th, 61 shooters gathered at Woods & Water for the 1st Annual SPE Sporting Clays Classic. We were fortunate to have such a beautiful day to shoot. There was plenty of food and drinks, and lots of prizes. Thanks to Baker Oil Tools for providing pork chop sandwiches for lunch, to Halliburton for providing steaks for dinner, and to Weatherford/Enterra for supplying the beverages.

I want to thank all of our sponsors. It would have been much more difficult and costly to present this tournament without their help:

BJ SERVICES
CHAMPION TECHNOLOGIES
MICRO-TREAT
ROBERTS/SCHORNICK & ASSOC.
SMITH INTERNATIONAL
WEDGE DIA-LOG
BORDEN PROPPANTS
CUDD PRESSURE CONTROL
POOL ENERGY SERVICES

With the challenge of 100 targets (50 sporting clays, 25 5-stand, and 25 wobble trap), there was quite an array of scores posted. Fortunately, for those of us who aren’t ready to go on tour, the tournament was set up with 4 different flights. The winners received Woods & Water Gift Certificates as follows: 1st-$150, 2nd-$100, 3rd-$75, 4th-$50.
