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.

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 rifle match. The air rifle rules and regulations are included below.

 

The age categories will be junior, intermediate, and senior.  The three classes for each age category will consist of sporter, light target, and precisions.

 

The competition will consist of the combined scores from the prone, standing, keeling, and sitting positions.

 

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.
