Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic

Raise funds for Texas Students!

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.

This year’s event will once again be hosted at the Dallas Gun Club, the perfect way to end the work week with friends, clients, and colleagues.

When the last clay target is hit, the fun is just getting started. Guests are invited to stick around for a lively happy hour and a high-energy live auction featuring unique experiences, all while celebrating the impact we are making together.

Every dollar – 100% – raised through the Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic benefits the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs, which have provided more than $21.4 million in auction awards and college scholarships to Texas students since 2018 alone. Last year, the event raised more than $324,000 in support of Texas youth, and this year we’re aiming even higher.

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

Join us on Friday, April 24th at the Dallas Gun Club for the 2026 Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic
