BRANSON, MI -(AmmoLand.com)- May 15, 2020 – Ducks Unlimited will host its second annual Eastern Continental Shoot for competitive sporting clay shooters Sept. 16 through 20, at the world-class Bass Pro Shops Shooting Academy in Branson.
The shooting competition features thousands of dollars in prizes and is presented by Weatherby and Reeds Family Outdoor Outfitters. The Bass Pro Shops Shooting Academy offers a state-of-the-art shooting sports experience in front of the stunning backdrop of Table Rock Lake.
