INFORMATION FOR ALL SHOOTS
Registration begins at 8:00am, with shooting to begin at 8:30-9:00am, depending upon location. PLEASE NOTE: Shooters participate on a first-come, first-served basis. All shooters who arrive before 10:00am will be guaranteed participation in the event (for you non-early risers, this means you don't have to be in line at 8am to participate! Come before 10:00am and you're in; any later, no guarantees but we'll do our best.)
Cost is dependant on the club (usually $32/100 targets) plus $6 (ATA & MTA fees)
Shooters must provide own shells. Depending on the location, shells may be available for purchase.
Shooters are categorized by age based on current AIM guidelines (Pre-Sub, Sub-Jr, Jr, & Jr Gold). Prizes are awarded for 1st & 2nd places, up to 4 classes per category depending on number of category shooters, on a Lewis system. Click HERE for information on how a Lewis class works.
No shoot-offs. Ties are broken based on front or back runs (a coin is flipped after all shooters have completed the event).
NEW FOR 2023: All prizes will be available after the shoot concludes, then again at each subsequent shoot for pickup. This allows shooters to come, shoot, and leave! All trophies not picked up will be available for pickup on August 13 at Del-Tone Gun Club.
Shooters also receive a dated attendance 1.5" button, upon registering. Each 2023 mySA shoot has a different button to collect.
