Tips for a successful shooting sports project:

Attend your event. Listen well, learn a lot, be safe, and have fun.
Leave County Fair targets with leaders at the clinic (they will submit on your behalf)
For Archery, .22 Rifle & .22 Pistol, keep track of what type of equipment you shot with (i.e. iron sights or scope, bare bow, 1-aid, or freestyle).
Remember to include your shooting sports participation on your Fair Entry form so that you can receive a ribbon and Fair Premiums.
