The Proven David East Memorial Sporting Clays Challenge began with a bang of a shotgun on Sunday, January 14, at Murphy Hill in St. Ann.

The shooters competed in various classes including A to E, Juniors, Sub-Juniors, Ladies, Hunters, and Beginners. This kicks off the first sporting clays shoot of the year for Jamaica Skeet Club, which has a robust calendar for 2024.

David East, who passed away in 2020, played a pivotal role in securing the venue as the home of the club’s annual competition. East was considered to be a visionary club member who only wanted the best for sporting clays in Jamaica, hence the competition was named in his honour.

The proceeds of the tournament will be used for the Driftwood Gun Club’s charities, which are dominated by educational support in the Treasure Beach area in the parish of St Elizabeth.
