Finale of the North America Cup

The 2011 FITASC North America Sporting Championship & North America Cup Final was the absolute pinnacle event for clay target shooting on the continent during the 2011 season. Staged from June 24th to June 26th, 2011, this high-stakes, three-day tournament brought together the finest marksmen from across the United States, Canada, and international delegations to compete in the main Sporting discipline (Parcours de chasse). The prestigious tournament was proudly hosted at the world-class facilities of the Caribou Gun Club in Le Sueur, Minnesota, USA.

Event Highlights & Structural Parameters

Operating under the highest international framework of global target shooting, this continental title event combined premium American outdoor infrastructure with strict international regulatory bodies:

Sanctioning Architecture: The competition operated under the direct international authority of FITASC (Fédération Internationale de Tir aux Armes Sportives de Chasse), certifying that all multi-stand course layouts, target flight paths, and weapon compliance parameters conformed to strict global tier-1 standards.
The Continental Crown: Functioning as the definitive regional championship of the season, this tournament served as the grand finale of the 2011 North America Cup, aggregating points from continental selection matches throughout the year to crown the overall cup champions across all categories.
Elite Course Engineering: Spanning a expansive property renowned for its heavy natural cover, woodlots, and diverse field presentations, the targets were strategically engineered to simulate unpredictable, highly complex hunting scenarios that demand absolute technical precision from the shooters.

Renowned as one of North America's top competitive arenas, the club has hosted over 96 major sporting clays and FITASC events since 1995.
