The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Youth Shooting Sports Program regionals begin this weekend as thousands of student athletes compete for a shot at state titles and college scholarships.
The 19th season features approximately 5700 students in grades 5–12 competing over 4 weeks at the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation Shooting Sports Complex. Competition starts at 9:00 a.m. each day.
The top 16 junior and senior teams will advance to the state championships May 29–30. Senior competitors will also battle for thousands of dollars in scholarships, with top prizes reaching up to 7500 dollars.
Regional competition begins with the North Region, followed by West, South, and East region matchups throughout May. Organizers say the program continues to grow, offering more opportunities for students to compete at the collegiate level across Arkansas.
