Hunter Nation Pennsylvania Sporting Clays Shoot Brings Together Shooters, Conservationists, and Advocates
Hunter Nation Pennsylvania enjoyed a tremendous day on the range as sportsmen and women from across the Commonwealth gathered for the Hunter Nation Pennsylvania Sporting Clays Shoot on June 26, 2026, at Shenecoy Sportsmen in Huntingdon.
The event welcomed 59 shooters for a day of friendly competition, fellowship, and support for Pennsylvania's hunting heritage.
A special highlight of the day was the participation of Hunter Nation Georgia and Alabama State Director Kelby Seanor, who provided expert instruction and tips to participants throughout the event. Seanor is one of the nation's most accomplished sporting clays competitors, earning recognition as a 10-time NSCA All-American, former Team USA member, and six-time Top 100 finisher at the World Sporting Championships. His willingness to share his knowledge made the event even more memorable for everyone in attendance.
Competition on the course was outstanding. The Top Team honors went to Dustin Hoover, Jim Dixon, Constantin Nelson, and Mark Saussure, who combined for an impressive score of 329 out of 400. Constantin Nelson also earned the title of Top Shooter after posting an outstanding score of 98 out of 100.
Hunter Nation Pennsylvania would like to congratulate all of the winners and thank everyone who participated. The overwhelming support and enthusiasm from attendees made this year's event a tremendous success, and planning is already underway for next year's Sporting Clays Shoot, which is expected to return in late June or mid-July 2027.
