The Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce partnered with The Cedar Gate Sportsman’s Club to host its inaugural clay shoot to benefit the growing Christmas parade and fireworks event.

The event took place Friday, Sept. 15, at The Cedar Gate.

The teams consisted of four members made of Kingfisher locals, both past and present, as well as employees of the members of the chamber from outside Kingfisher.

Shooters made their way around one of Cedar Gate’s 15-station courses competing for the title of “Top Team.”

Following the shooting portion of the competition, there was a black powder exhibition consisting of a bowling ball cannon and anvil blast.

A sponsored lunch was also catered at the event (Ed. note: For a list of event sponsors, see the chamber’s Facebook page and Instagram account.)
