2012 Arizona State Championship
Ben Avery Clay Target Center 
March 14 through March 18, 2012
 

The 2012 Arizona State Championship will be earlier and cooler this year!  We have all the events you could want with 800 total targets in all.  We will also have two days of "Pre-State Shoot" events to help you get your required year-to-date targets.  These will be the Wednesday Warm-Up and the Thursday Warm-Up, consisting of a 100-bird main event each day.  We will have tons of trophies and oodles of added money.  There will be a Saturday evening dinner, raffle and door prizes and the fun you've come to expect from Ben Avery. 

We invite everyone to make your plans, get your reservations, reserve your golf cart!  We look forward to seeing everyone at the Ben Avery Clay Target Center for what just may be the best shoot of the year!

Golf Cart Rental Information

Golf carts are available for rent.  All golf carts available for rent are 4-seat models.  A 4-Day Golf Cart Rental, Thursday through Sunday, will cost $265.00.

While we know the costs seem high, please bear in mind that we have the rental cost of the cart, delivery costs on a per-load basis (with fuel sur-charge), as well as insurance costs.  We are simply trying to break-even.

Liability concerns dictates that drivers must be at least 16 years of age and have in their possession a valid driver’s license. In addition a parent must accompany any driver under the age of 18. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in the cart being parked for the remainder of the tournament. Any reckless driving or entry into off limits areas will result in the same penalty. Range staff and shoot management will have the sole discretion in this matter. Carts may not carry more persons than they are designed to transport.

Golf cart rental reservations can be made via the event registration form or via registration online at www.winscoreonline.com Golf cart reservation deadline is March 7, 2012.
