Just to clarify.. everyone who shoots in the qualifiers gets to shoot at State. They will sort us into groups of 20 or so (called flights) of comparable ability and equipment. You will shoot to place against your own flight-- not against those in other flights. In other words, those with an average score of 250 are not competing against the guys who shoot 300's.
Last year there was a huge turnout and it was a lot of fun. If you get the chance, you should give it a shot. Several shops around the cities will have qualifiers those two weekends-- you will want to sign up early to save a spot.
