Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic

The Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic is more than a day on the range. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that only the State Fair of Texas can deliver. From station to station, shooters enjoy a premium tournament atmosphere, raffles, and networking opportunities infused with State Fair flair.

A staggering $458,000 was raised at the 2026 event in support of the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs, with 100% of every dollar going directly to students across the state to support their path through higher education, trade programs, and continued involvement in agriculture.

Thank you to our valued sponsors, participants, and volunteers for supporting Texas students through the State Fair of Texas!

Join us on Friday, April 23, 2027, at the Dallas Gun Club for the 2027 Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic!
