Southern Side-by-Side Spring Classic
Outside of Pittsboro, NC – My friends at Deep River Sporting Clays are hosting The Southern Side-by-Side Championship and Exhibition this weekend. It’s great fun to see expert marksmanship, history, tradition and competition all rolled into one.
Deep River Sporting Clays
Just 13 miles south of downtown Pittsboro, Deep River Shooting Clays sits on 65 acres of rolling woodlands outside Sanford.
Their business is essentially target shooting at clay pigeons. I’ve taken my daughter Kelsi out there for instruction and recreation.
Southern Side-by-Side Spring Classic
Now in its 14th year, the Southern Classic features side-by-side shooting. That is, double barreled shotguns.
You’ll see fine shotguns, accessories, clothing and artwork represented by more than 75 vendors from around the world all on the Deep River grounds.
The Classic features competitions all weekend including 12-gauge, hammerless and even a black powder challenge. Black powder is the most traditional method of shooting. As they say at Deep River, “we’ll see who wins when the smoke clears!”
