An Elevated, Exclusive Experience

Step into a day of sporting, networking, and Kentucky heritage. The 2026 Clay Classic is reimagined as an intimate and exclusive event for Filson business supporters, community partners, and members. Hosted at Ashbourne Farms, a private historic Southern estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Filson Sporting Clay Classic combines:

• World-class sporting clays with expert instruction, guided shooting, and all necessary equipment
• Curated culinary experiences: farm-inspired grazing, elevated seasonal food stations
• Special historical programming: Lunch presentation by Mel Hankla, renowned collector and master builder of the Kentucky long rifle, sharing rare insights into frontier craftsmanship and material culture

Rooted in the Filson Historical Society’s mission to preserve and share Kentucky’s history, the Filson Sporting Clay Classic connects living traditions, sporting culture, craftsmanship, and place, with the stewardship that ensures they endure.
