The contest will run 6 weeks - April 14th to May 19th. One score per week will be tallied. Participants will have all week to shoot and their score will be verified by a certified shooting sports leader. County scores will be given to the local county office or e-mailed directly to the state office where they will be posted on the web.

 

The first scores are due to the state 4-H office April 21st and then every Monday for the next 5 weeks (April 28, May 5, May 12, May 19, and May 26).

Six scores are available and the highest 3 will count toward the participant’s total. 

 

We will follow the same guidelines as the state air pistol match. The air pistol rules and regulations are included below.

 

The age categories will be junior, intermediate, and senior. 

 

For your convenience a score sheet is included below. The score sheet does not need to be submitted – only the total score for each participant will need to be submitted to the state 4-H office.
