Event Information

Starting Times and What to Expect

We are looking forward to having you participate in our local qualifier! A few things to note:

The deadline for each event is five days prior at 3:00 p.m. CT. 

Once the deadline has passed, the guardian whom completed the registration will receive an email with starting time information. (Please check your junk/spam folders if you don’t see it).

The competition consists of 9 total shots - so it takes about 15-20 minutes.

Because we have eight different divisions, we follow this order: Girls 7-9, Boys 7-9, Girls 10-11, Boys 10-11, Girls 12-13, Boys 12-13, Girls 14-15, and finish with Boys 14-15. That way, each participant can leave once his/her age and gender division is finished.

We do an awards ceremony after each age/gender group is finished.

We award 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each skill and overall.

The top 3 overall point-earners move on to the Sub-Regional.

Start times are final - no exceptions.
