DUBLIN – The Bladen Community College Foundation has announced its Second Annual Pheasant Tower Shoot, scheduled for Saturday, March 7, beginning at 9 a.m., at Allen Brothers Outdoors.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, this popular fundraiser invites hunting enthusiasts and community members to enjoy a memorable morning outdoors while supporting student success at Bladen Community College.
“We had been looking at different fundraisers,” Sondra Guyton, Vice President for Institutional Advancement & Community Relations said. “We thought that this would just be a great fit for Bladen County. We have so many hunters and so many opportunities for hunters here.
The event will kick off at 9 a.m. with breakfast refreshments, followed by clay shoot practice, the pheasant tower shoot, and will conclude with a delicious lunch.
Participants will enjoy a well-organized, high-energy hunting experience designed for both seasoned sportsmen and those looking for a unique outdoor event. The cost is $300 per person, which includes lunch.
All participants will also take home cleaned and dressed pheasants, so attendees are encouraged to bring coolers. Proceeds from the Pheasant Tower Shoot benefit the Bladen Community College Foundation, helping fund scholarships, student support services, and academic program enhancements that make a lasting impact on students and the community.

“We started in 2000,” Ronald Allen said. “We started small with quail hunting. Me and my brother would go off somewhere every year and kind of picked up some ideas of what to do and what not to do. Now we do between 25 and 30 pheasant tower shoots per year. Since we’ve started, we’ve curtailed duck hunting and do not do that any longer.”
