Recreational Activity |Sporting Clays

Join us at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio for fun times with your peers. You may have heard of sporting clays referred to as golf with a shotgun, and that’s a fair comparison. Like golf courses, no two sporting clays courses are alike, and terrain and background have a lot to do with how targets are presented. Sporting clays is the closest thing to actual field shooting of all shotgun sports. Rather than having clay birds thrown from standardized distances and angles as with skeet or trap, sporting clays courses are designed to simulate the hunting of ducks, pheasants, other upland birds, and even rabbits.

Transportation and team lunch will be provided. A minibus will be provided and will leave promptly at 10:00am from the front entrance of the hotel. Please have your event ticket with you in order to be able to board.

This ticket must be purchased in addition to full registration.

Fee: $85

Recreational Activity |Off-Site Party

The beautiful Henry B. González Convention Center actually has “A River that Runs through It.” This section of the charming San Antonio River Walk is aptly named, “The Grotto.” The Grotto spans the entire width of Bridge Hall of the Convention Center with numerous trees, foliage, a waterfall that signifies the end or the beginning (depending on which way you are walking) and even a few ducks who have taken up residence in The Grotto area.

The Lonesome Dove Room is appointed with fine Western art that evokes the maverick history and rustic elegance of the landscape that inspired it. Antler chandeliers and wood, metal, and leather custom-made furnishings abound in this unique, one-of-a-kind venue unparalleled in any convention center in the country.

Bill Wittliff, renowned photographer and executive producer for the Lonesome Dove mini-series, enlarged 11 of his original photographs for exclusive display throughout the room

Technical Tour | San Antonio River Tour

Step into the Soul of San Antonio! GO RIO San Antonio River Walk tour connects you to the city's culture, history, architecture, and timeless charm. A private barge will take you on an enchanting journey through San Antonio’s rich history, from La Villita, the city’s first neighborhood (and where General Santa Anna placed his cannon line in the Battle of the Alamo)… past the Old Mill Crossing where Teddy Roosevelt led his Rough Riders.

Take in the sights and sounds along the iconic San Antonio River Walk to learn about the city’s architecture and points of interest, such as Selena’s Bridge, where Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla Pérez’s husband proposed to her in the movie; the Hyatt Regency Hotel, designed so its height would not cast a shadow on the Alamo in the setting sun; and the Briscoe Western Art Museum. German, Mexican, French, Irish, and American Indian heritages create a culture unique to San Antonio.
