Well, I am a rep for an oilfield company in Lafayette, and of everything I do for events involving charity, clay shoots are the most profitable and easiest to pull off. I am on the board of the LA. Pipeliners Clay shoot, and assist on several others. We just held a fundraiser for the family of our old boss that was killed in a plane crash and raised about 18k. Now that was with a huge corporate showing from vendors that donated big time to our cause, so with good planning and getting the word out, you can come up w/ big bucks to make a difference. The problem with a golf tourney or fishing tourney is you are limited in participation monies. With a clay shoot, you charge $100/gun for the main event, then have fun events such as 5stand, snooker, long bird and so on for $20/head. The ego kicks in and guys start spending $100/$200 bucks to see who can hit the most. From the TOBI, to the AADE Golf tourney, clay shoots bring the "best bang for the buck".
