 RGV LEAD Board Announces “Shooting for Success” Skeet Shoot 

Bird season has started, but RGV LEAD won’t be shooting live birds, just clay pigeons!  That’s right, get your shotguns ready and let’s hear you yell, “Pull!”

RGV LEAD – Rio Grande Valley Link-ing Economic and Academic Development is excited to announce it will host the Inaugural “Shooting for Success” 2021 Skeet Shoot Fundraiser on November 12th at El Dorado Sporting Clays just north of Edinburg.  Teams will have several sponsorship levels in which to participate.  The sponsorships range from a 3-person team for $1,000 to five 3-person teams for $10,000. Whatever your donation choice might be, one thing is for certain, you’re aim will hit the target – supporting RGV LEAD initiatives across the Rio Grande Valley!

  • Squad – three shooters
  • Round – refers to 25 clay pigeons/shells
  • Bird or target – a clay pigeon
  • Pull – when you give a verbal command, such as “pull, heyah, yep, etc.” to call for the clay pigeon to be released
  • Stations – The positions at skeet where you will shoot.
