“I could not be more pleased,” commented Peter Foss, Managing Partner and CEO of Shell Shock Technologies. “Considering this was our first annual event, the turnout, the excitement, and most importantly, the support for our veterans and first responders exceeded all expectations. This weekend was meaningful in every way — from the action on the range to the connections made on the golf course. We’re already looking forward to making next year even bigger.”
Attendees kicked off the weekend at Markham Park Shooting Range with hands-on shooting experiences using Shell Tech’s advanced precision ammunition and Desert Tech’s innovative bullpup rifles. With instruction led by industry influencer Jake Holt of Regional Operations, participants engaged in dynamic range competitions, showcasing reload techniques, ergonomics, and the unique capabilities of bullpup platforms. Prizes from Four Brothers Custom Gun Holsters and Heritage Distilling Company were awarded, and the grand prize included automatic entry into the NRA World Shooting Championship.
On Monday, the action shifted to The Club at Weston Hills for a scramble-format golf tournament, where participants enjoyed contests, raffles, and even launched golf balls downrange using a custom AR-15-style launcher. After the round, guests enjoyed a high-end lunch starting with a cocktail reception and appetizers, followed by carving stations and gourmet fare, open bar, and a whiskey tasting featuring Heritage Distilling’s Service to America SALUTE™: War Dogs™ Edition Bourbon, followed by an awards ceremony and silent auction filled with exclusive memorabilia.
The tournament concluded with a victory by team Placido & The Pitching Wedge, comprised of MLB greats Placido Polanco and “El Duque” Hernandez, and Juan Munoz and Rafael Acevedo, whose competitive spirit and camaraderie embodied the event’s purpose of giving back.
Throughout the weekend, participants had the chance to meet and interact with members of K9 Heroes 4 Heroes, learning about its mission to provide trained service dogs to veterans and first responders at no cost. These dogs play a vital role in helping our heroes reintegrate into civilian life and maintain their independence. Their presence brought a deeper level of understanding and appreciation to the weekend’s efforts.
