Team Competition
All teams will consist of four members and all four scores count towards the team score, except archery which requires three scores. There are three divisions: BEG, JR and SR. The division is determined by the age of the oldest team member (as of January 1).Exception--Air Pistol and Archery Team must remain in their age group. Team entry fees are $2/team. There is no limit to the number of teams a county may enter. Shotgun teams will be divided into SR and JR (JR and Beg) teams.
**For archery only, JR's are the only ones allowed to move up. To do so they must shoot at the senior distance, and will be eligible for individual scores in that division only.
Awards
First, second and third place awards will be given as long as
the individuals have accumulated a state qualifying score. Awards
through 5th place will be offered if there are enough participants
to warrant it. Team certificates will be offered with a ratio
of one placing for every five teams entered.
All matches will use SD 4-H Shooting Sports rules, or the official rules listed on this site. Copies are available free via internet or for a reasonable fee from your local Extension Office.
