Hunter Nation Pennsylvania Summer Events, Legislative Updates, and Advocacy Efforts
Hunter Nation Pennsylvania is gearing up for an exciting summer with events that celebrate our hunting heritage, advocate for sportsmen's rights, and strengthen our outdoor community across the Commonwealth.
Sporting Clays Shoot Set for June 26
On June 26, 2026, Hunter Nation Pennsylvania will host a Sporting Clays Shoot at Shenecoy Sportsmen, located at 5776 Shenecoy Road, Huntingdon, PA 16652.
Registration will remain open until the start of the shoot at 11:00 a.m. Participants can register online at HunterNation.org/Pennsylvania or sign up in person on the day of the event.
We are excited to welcome Kelby Seanor as our special guest. Kelby serves as Hunter Nation's State Director for Georgia and Alabama and is widely recognized as one of the nation's top clay target shooters and instructors. His impressive resume includes:
- 10-time NSCA All-America selection
- Former Team USA member
- Six Top 100 finishes at the World Sporting Championships
Whether you're an experienced shooter or new to the sport, this event offers a great opportunity to enjoy a day of competition, fellowship, and learning from one of the best in the industry.
Celebrating One Year of Sunday Hunting Freedom
Hunter Nation Pennsylvania will also host an Award Ceremony and Celebration of Sunday Hunting on July 11, 2026.
The event marks the one-year anniversary of Governor Josh Shapiro signing Act 36 of 2025 into law, fully repealing Pennsylvania's long-standing ban on Sunday hunting. This historic achievement expanded opportunities for hunters and represented a significant victory for sportsmen and women across the Commonwealth.
Additional details about the celebration will be released soon. For more information, contact Pennsylvania State Directors John Bingaman and Dan Sneath at [email protected].
