Final schedules will be posted here (in printable, PDF format) no later than one week prior to the event. All competitors need to be prepared to compete on all three days, from 8am until 6pm, each day.

If you do not live within driving distance to the venue, we suggest that you make plans to arrive at your living quarters (hotel, camp ground, RV lot, etc) on the Thursday prior to the event.

In general, we will attempt to schedule each division to shoot in either the morning, afternoon or evening. This is a general rule-of-thumb however, and is subject to change.
