Thank You to All Participants of the 2026 DBIA DFW Chapter Clay Shoot!
On Thursday, March 5, 2026, the DBIA-SW DFW Chapter gathered at Elm Fork Shooting Sports for one of our most anticipated events of the year — the 2026 DFW Clay Shoot.
The morning kicked off with breakfast, networking, and plenty of friendly competition. From seasoned sharpshooters to first-time participants, the day was filled with camaraderie, collaboration, and a few impressive shots across both the Meadows and Woods courses.
Beyond the competition, this event continues to serve a larger purpose. Proceeds from the Clay Shoot support the DBIA-SW Scholarship Program, helping invest in the next generation of design-build professionals. Your participation directly contributes to students pursuing careers in the AEC industry — and for that, we are incredibly grateful.
