This year, there was an incredible amount of young people participating as well, and some even won! Such was the case for Daniel El-hage: 13 years old, who won Class D of the Sporting Clays Shooting Tournament! See the complete list of winners below.The Casa de Campo Shooting Center, now directed by Gary Salmon — this being his second year running the Sugar Shooting Tournament, centered around the formidable red and white tower, and boasts of more than 200 different stations which catapult the clay targets into the air at different heights, speeds and angles, each one designed to represent the movement of different animals such as pheasants and rabbits. Casa de Campo’s Sporting Clays is highly regarded by everyone and it’s no surprise that it is ranked alongside courses such as “The Blue Ridge Course” of Primland in Virginia, and “The Hill Country Course” of Joshua Creek Ranch in Texas.
