2024 High Cotton Classic

The  2024 High Cotton Classic was held on August 24 and was dubbed the "Revival" year. After a long 7-year hiatus, lots of old friends and new faces gathered to shoot and enjoy great food and better fellowship. It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday and we were blessed with unseasonably cool weather with highs in the mid-80's and a slight breeze. 

43 teams shot the 16-station, 112 shot course that started promptly at 11:43 with a breathtaking pyrotechnic display "shotgun" start. This year's course meandered across fields and through the woods. It tested shooters' skills with quick birds and tight shooting windows.

The Yard Game roster included the signature Flurry and 5-Stand, as well as Long Bird, Cotton Ball Game and House Pair challenges.  Some great prizes were won and the yard games added to the fun and comradery of the day.

Dinner and evening festivities brought back the times of old. Rusty ran a thrilling reverse raffle that culminated in a grand prize of a beautiful Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon V donated by Burns Chevrolet.

41 young men participated as trappers in this year's event. As one of the key missions of High Cotton, our trapper program was supported in a big way in 2024. We are proud of the men that participated and it is our prayer that they continue to build their relationships with each other and the Lord. 

We can't thank our sponsors, shooters and supporters enough for a great 2024 High Cotton Classic.
