First AnnualBattle of the Badges
A sporting clays tournament for the agencies that work Montgomery County, and anyone who wants to take them on. Twenty teams shoot. The top badge team takes home the Gauntlet and gets bragging rights for a year.
The Teams
Here’s every team registered so far, who they’re shooting for, and who’s sponsoring them.
What It Costs, What You Get
Per Four-Person Team
$200 per gun. Twenty teams and no more. There is no second flight.
Gauge
Bring your shotgun. Everything else is covered.
Every Entry Includes
- Entry and ammunition
- Eyes and ears
- A cart for your team
- An event T-shirt for every shooter
Put a Team on the Course
Badges, businesses, churches, crews, or any four people. One course, one field, one set of awards. Twenty teams, first come, and when they’re gone they’re gone.
Register a Team
Team name, team captain, and whoever you have so far. Only shooter one is required today. The rest can be TBD.
Register a Team for $800Need a Sponsor for Your Team?

Request a SponsorWhat Happens After You Register
We invoice the team captain
Within three business days. Check or electronic payment. Settle it promptly so your slot stays held.
You fill in the roster
Don’t have all four yet? Put TBD. Names, gauges and shirt sizes are due March 1.
You show up and shoot
Every shooter signs Blackwood’s waiver at check-in.
Sponsor a Team
Sponsors have the option to donate their team slots to a fire, EMS, law enforcement or dispatch crew rather than fielding their own shooters. That gives first responders the opportunity to participate in an event they otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend without your sponsorship.
Want to back a specific crew? Teams looking for a sponsor are marked on the team board.

Your name and signage on the carts. Every team gets one, and they’re in use all day.
Your name and logo on the event T-shirt. Eighty shirts leave with eighty people and get worn long after the event.
Covers mulligans for every shooter on the course. No day-of mulligan sales.
“Coffee sponsored by ___” at the morning table.
Pick a level and tell us who to invoice. MOCSAR invoices within three business days, check or electronic payment. The form is a commitment, not a charge. Levels that include teams also include entries, so part of what you pay is goods and services rather than a contribution; MOCSAR’s acknowledgment letter states both figures.
About MOCSAR
Montgomery County Search and Rescue has been an all-volunteer team since 1984. When someone goes missing, whether it’s a child off a trail, an older neighbor who wandered, or a hiker who didn’t come back, MOCSAR is who local law enforcement calls.
Nobody on the team is paid. Radios, search gear, training hours and fuel all come out of fundraising like this. Every entry and every sponsorship goes straight into keeping the team ready for the next call.
MOCSAR is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
