Proceeds will benefit initiatives such as the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Explorer Program and Amador County’s A&A Shooters youth trap and skeet shotgun team.

Sheriff Gary Redman emphasized the event’s significance, stating,

“This year’s event will be held in El Dorado. Our plan is to hold this event in Amador next year. Each county will split the proceeds, which will go to the newly formed youth shooting sports programs.”
