Handicaps are calculated by subtracting the shooter’s average score from “par” (43) and multiplying the difference by 70%. For example, if the shooter’s average score is 30, the calculation is as follows: 43 – 30 = 13 x .70 = 9.1. The handicap 9.1 will then be added to the shooters score. Handicaps are adjusted every week. Maximum score with a handicap is 43. All shooters are handicapped.
Awards are given to teams that place 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in classes AAA, AA, A, B, & C. Multiple additional prizes will be given away by random drawing to teams and league shooters who complete all 18 weeks of shooting. The 2026 League Banquet will be held on September 21, 2026.
