It has been held under a variety of names over the years, rain or shine, but no matter what it\u2019s been called or the weather, everyone has a shootin\u2019 good time at Porter Capital\u2019s annual client appreciation outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Bird \u2018n Hand Shootout at Selwood Farm & Hunting Preserve in Alpine, Ala., as regular a fixture on the October calendar as the Alabama-Tennessee football game, brought together more than 150 friends for food, fellowship and shooting sports as a way for the Alabama financial company to show its appreciation to their customers.

Not even the weather could put a damper on the day this year.
\u00a0
\u201cEvery person I talked to said they had the best time,\u201d said Carrie Groce, Porter Capital\u2019s office administrator who led the team that organized the event.
\u00a0
This year, Porter received received more than 300 RSVPs for the by-invitation event, but concerns over the weather reduced the field in half. Those who did arrive took part in one of four continental pheasant hunts and time on the sporting clays range. The Selwood Farms staff cleaned and dressed the birds that were taken so the successful hunters could take their prizes home to the table.
\u00a0
Participants came in from both coasts. They even entertained a new client from California who had never shot a firearm before and arrived with no gear, but organizers got them all set up for a memorable experience.
\u00a0
\u201cIt was neat to see somebody come from so far away,\u201d Groce said. \u201cThey said they had a great time. They had to catch a flight that afternoon, but said we have to shoot, we want to know what it\u2019s like. They had great things to say about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what the event is all about.
 
\u201cGetting to meet new people, new clients or potential clients and interact with people you may not meet otherwise,\u201d Groce said. \u201cWe work so hard for this event and we\u2019re exhausted by the time it\u2019s over, but it\u2019s so fun. It\u2019s so enjoyable because everybody is so excited to be there.\u201d
 
They\u2019re already making plans for next year\u2019s event.
 
\u201cWe go into hard-core planning mode thinking of ideas on how to making it better than the year before,\u201d Groce said.
