About High Cotton Classic
The Event
Since 1989 we have gathered on a beautiful farm in Chester County, South Carolina to have fun busting clay birds and raising money for worthy causes. The one-day event is always the last Saturday before Labor Day weekend and includes sporting clays and other shotgun games, lunch and supper, and terrific prizes.
Trapper Program
Our trappers are what sets High Cotton apart. These young men are critical to our mission and what make our event run. If you are interested in participating as a trapper, please visit our Trappers page to find out more.
