Costume and Decoration Contest

*Best costume will be throughout the whole time.

Dessert Wars

Your favorite dessert! We LOVE eating in KY!!! (Type of dessert announced later.)

2nd MATCH CATEGORY (Decision pending)

This year we plan to offer the option to shoot in more than one category (contingent on a sufficient number of registered 2nd match shooters). The cost will be $35 for one additional category. We foresee running this second wave during the afternoon, but details at this time are not finalized. We'll be updating the schedule as more unfolds.

LUNCH/DINNER TICKETS

We've moved to a more standardized process. We will be providing lunch and dinner tickets for each registered shooter and to those who have pre-ordered additional tickets. Each extra lunch ticket (per day) is currently $5, and an extra dinner ticket is $15. If you would like extra tickets, they can be purchased during registration times.

CONFIRMATION LETTERS

Please check this website and the SASS wire for updated shooter lists. Our program and internet in the hills hasn't been conducive for sending them out timely. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience! Please email us with any changes or corrections.
