Registration

You do not have to have any experience to participate!
Teams will consist of five shooters; however, you can register anywhere from 1 to 5 individuals, and we will make pairings accordingly.
Registration forms must be returned with payment.
Participants must list experience level to participate in team and individual contests.
Each shooter will be required to sign a Participant Liability Release at the registration table at the event.

New this year! Optional Practice Shooting 1 – 2 p.m. Whether it’s your first time shooting or you feel like a seasoned pro, join us at the event early for a warmup round! For $20, experienced shooters can participate in a practice round contest and first-timers will receive a quick lesson on shooting 101 to get ready for the event! All participants will receive 10 shells (2 shots at each station) and all scores will count toward the contest – a little fun before the fun! You can enter as many times as you like; each score from your 10-shot round will be entered to win.
