Beretta and Gray Rose to Sponsor Main Event at 2026 Gator Cup Sporting Clays Tournament

Beretta USA is proud to announce its participation in the upcoming Gator Cup Sporting Clays Tournament on May 24-29th at Back Woods Quail Club, one of the premier sporting clays competitions in the United States. The annual event draws hundreds of competitors from across the country and has earned a reputation as one of the largest and most exciting sporting clays tournaments in the nation.

For the 2026 event, Beretta will partner with Gray Rose as the Main Event sponsor, reinforcing both companies' long-standing commitment to the sporting clays community and competitive shotgun shooting. Throughout the event, attendees will be able to visit the Beretta trailer on Vendor Row for hands-on demonstrations of some of the brand's most advanced competition shotguns. Featured models will include the Beretta 694 Black DLC, DT11 Super Sport, SL2, AX800 Suprema, and the new Beretta A400L.

In addition to shotgun demonstrations, competitors in the Main Event will automatically be entered into a special giveaway for a Beretta DT11 shotgun, donated by Beretta and Gray Rose. The prize, valued at approximately $18,000, will be awarded by Back Woods Quail Club. All Main Event entrants will be eligible, and the winner must be present to claim the prize.

"The Gator Cup has become one of the most anticipated events in the sporting clays calendar," said Bryan Buzzi, Sr. Manager, Premium Firearms of Beretta USA. "Partnering with Gray Rose to support the Main Event and bringing our newest competition shotguns for shooters to experience firsthand is a great way to celebrate the sport and connect with the community."

The Gator Cup Sporting Clays Tournament continues to attract top shooters, industry partners, and enthusiasts for several days of competition, camaraderie, and innovation in the shooting sports, making it an ideal stage for Beretta to showcase its latest competition shotguns. Team Beretta athletes Zach Kienbaum, Desiree Edmunds and Connor Daniel will be competing in the tournament, showcasing the performance of Beretta's competition firearms at one of the sport's most anticipated events.
