While the ASP team was out at Game Unlimited catching the NSCA US Open, we couldn't pass up the chance to hand-deliver Steve Korin his 2026 Big Ole Open Championship trophy!
Congrats again, Steve and well earned!
It was great watching some of the best in the sport compete and even better getting to celebrate one of our own along the way.

The 1st Annual Big Ole Open is officially in the books.
Our first ever NSCA Registered Sporting Clays shoot at Alexandria Shooting Park, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better first one.
A big thank you to everyone who came out and supported it. We learned a lot, had a lot of fun, and met a bunch of great people along the way.
And congratulations to our first ever Big Ole Open Champion, Steve Korin!
We've got one more thing to do before we officially call this one done.
We're loading up the ASP team and heading to the US Open Sporting Clays shoot, and we're planning to hand-deliver Steve's trophy to him while we're there. We figured if we're going to make a trophy, we might as well make sure the guy who won it actually gets it.
We're excited about where this event can go. This was year one, and we've already got plenty of ideas for how to make the Big Ole Open bigger and better next year.
Thanks again to everyone who helped make the first one a success.
See you at the 2nd Annual Big Ole Open in 2027!

You've heard us talking about sporting clays. You've seen us shooting sporting clays. You've maybe even shot sporting clays yourself. Now, we're ready to step our game up a bit.
August 7th through 9th, we'll be hosting our first-ever NSCA Registered Sporting Clays event at ASP. 200 birds, European-style. Shoot your 200 birds in one day, or split it across two, you decide.
$160 gets you the 200 targets.
This is a first for us, and we're excited to bring it to Alexandria. If you're ready to test yourself against a registered event, now's the time.
