hunting east of U.S. Highway 81 (east zone).
Approximately 90 special permits remain for hunting in the east zone.

They are limited to one per hunter and available on a first-come, first-

Des Moines, Iowa – -(Ammoland.com)- Brownells has donated and

shipped 43 cases of shotshells to the 9th Annual Klays for Kids Sporting
Clays Team Challenge, scheduled for September 24, 2010, at the Coyote
Valley Sporting Clays range near Morgan Hill, California.
The Klays shoot is hosted by the NFL Alumni Northern California

Chapter (NFL Alumni-NCC).
“The Klays for Kids Sporting Clays Team Challenge is a great

way to promote youth shooting sports in a safe, competitive
setting. We’re glad we could help the NFL Alumni by
donating ammunition for the event,” said Brownells
President Pete Brownell.
Gary Weaver, chairperson for the Klays event and a member

of the NFL Alumni-NCC’s executive committee said, “We
appreciate Brownells’ donation, and we’re happy to have
them as ammunition sponsor for the event.”
At the Klays event, shooters compete in teams of five, which include a

celebrity captain. The tournament consist of sporting clays targets
presented in a casual tournament format.
Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Bay Area kids’ charities, said
Weaver, who is a former linebacker for the Oakland Raiders and Green
Bay Packers.
“Brownells’ ammo sponsorship covers one of our big costs,”

he said, “which it allows us to donate more money to the
charities. It’s a generous contribution that will help a lot of
kids.”
