CALLING ALL SKEET ENTHUSIASTS!Welcome to 2019 everyone. Coming off of a big skeet year where GHSC threw 342,600 registered Skeet targets. The Blue Goose was a fantastic, Best of Texas was great and the US Open was over the top. We invite you back for another fun filled year where we are yet again changing things up!
For the 2019 we are going to integrate a program that has been very successful for us by bringing new shooters to the game. You may have heard of our Buckle Race Series but now it’s time to experience it.
The Blue Goose will be broken into two separate tournaments. The first one will be on Friday, May 24th and it will be called the Blue Goose Buckle Race 410. It includes 200 .410 Skeet targets, 100 .410 Sporting clays targets and 50 .410 5-Stand targets. You can shoot 100 skeet only, 200 skeet only, 100 Sporting only or all of it! Whatever you want! That’s the beauty of this format.
Three Skeet rotation times to choose from and Sporting Clays is Euro Rotation, which means you shoot your sporting clays whenever you want as long as score cards are turned in by 4:00pm on the day of the event. At the end of the day we will award special Buckles to places in Skeet, Sporting and the combination. It’s fun!! Lunch provided for all participants also!
Then on Saturday we are back to our original main event Briley Blue Goose format. Starting with 12ga on Saturday and finishing with 410 on Monday.
It will be the usual fun times. With the May Madness bracket, 12ga Bounty option, Golden Goose and of course CRAB LEGS coming out of our ears!
We hope you will join us. For more information please visit our new website www.greaterhoustonsportsclub.com. Sign up for skeet at www.myskeet.com.

12GA BOUNTY OPTIONGHSC, Briley and Todd Bender have partnered up to bring you the 12ga boun-ty option. This option is designed to give A-E class shooters an opportunity to collect the cash by tying or beating skeet legend Todd Bender.
Entry Fee $15Here is how it works:
Each class is given a handicap for the 12ga event. You then will shoot your 12ga event as you normally would. After the event you add your handicap to your raw score and if you tie or beat Todd’s raw 12ga score you double will your money!
It keeps going so pay attention! If you tie or beat Todd not only to do you double your money you are entered into a shoot-off on Saturday night against all the other qualified participants and Todd Bender with his 28ga for the entire cash purse.
But wait, there’s more! For the shoot off every participant except Todd will be shooting their 12ga. Plus each class will be given targets for the shoot off!
If you are the last man or women standing you walk away with the cash. If Todd out lasts the field and wins, the cash purse will go back to the 2020 Briley Blue Goose Junior fund. Everyone wins!

Dawn of the new era. If you knew Jess Briley you knew him as an innovator. Always had a new idea or a fix for something. It is a trait sought after by many but obtained by only a few.
At the 2019 Briley Blue Goose we are continuing the tradition of the “The Jess Briley Innovators Award”. This award is not only to keep Jess’s memory alive but to continue to help and put back into skeet by constantly improving and changing.
There will only be one award up for grabs each year and it’s not guaranteed that anyone will receive it.
The requirements to earn this prestigious award are simple.
1. One must shoot the four gun main event at the Blue Goose at which you are submitting your idea.
2. Submit a one page idea of a fun game that will improve the experience of skeet shooting or an idea to help improve skeet on a local or national level. The submission must also have an outline of steps to implement the idea.
Our selection committee will review all submissions and select a recipient. If there are no ideas submitted or none that are usable then there will not be a recipient selected for that year.
If an idea is selected that can be implemented at the Blue Goose the winners idea will be inserted into the 2020 Blue Goose program.
The winner will receive the “Jess Briley Innovators” plaque plus $1,000 cash prize and a full entry to the following years Briley Blue Goose.
A perpetual plaque will also be hung at GHGC with each winners name inscribed on it.
