The 2022 FASP Sporting Clays Tournament at Fishhawk


Registration is open for the 2022 Florida Asphalt Scholarship Program Sporting Clays Tournament! Last year we hosted 107 shooters from across the state. Our friends at V.E. Whitehurst secured the top shooting honors, and we raised over $14,000 for the Florida Asphalt Scholarship Program.


This year we are planning for another fun, safe and competitive event. Space is limited, so please register quickly. Sponsorships are available as well, and all proceeds from the event go to college students with close connections to the asphalt industry.
