We are excited to share news with you regarding our 11th Annual Sporting Clay Competition benefitting Homes of Hope for Children! This year’s event will again be held at River Bend Sporting Clays in Petal, MS. We look forward to seeing you there on Friday, May 1st, 2026!

Formerly Ray Sims Cutting Horse Ranch, River Bend Sporting Clays now stands as a premier shotgun shooting facility in Mississippi. Acquired by the Wittig family in 2024, the property has undergone extensive renovations to provide state-of the-art sporting clays experiences.

There will be plenty of food and fun! We hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable experience in support of Homes of Hope for Children.

We will also host our second Clay Shoot Clinic for Ladies called “Pull & Pow”, and the entry fee for that clinic again includes the use of a shotgun and ammo, a t-shirt, lunch, and a whole lot of fun!
