The Cocke County Claybusters changed things up a bit on Saturday, June 28, as they enjoyed a day of sporting clays and a cookout. Dr. Jeff Foster treated the coaches and shooters to a fun day of shooting at Fowler Farms Sporting Clays and Game Preserve in Hot Springs, North Carolina. After 50 targets through 10 exciting shooting stations, the Fowler Farms staff grilled delicious hamburgers with all of the trimmings. Top scorers, who won T-Shirts, included Kyle Valentine, Shayn Loy, Wesley Smelcer and McCauley Clark. Claybusters¹ head coach Tim Pack thanked Dr. Foster and Fowler Farms for a thrilling adventure in shooting and for being fantastic hosts. This is the third year Dr. Foster has treated the team with a trip to Fowler Farms, which the squad had thoroughly enjoyed each and every year.
