Missouri Challenge Points Shoots
Archives
The Missouri Points Challenge Tour rewards Missouri shooters who participate actively by traveling to a number of shoots at clubs throughout the state. Each club designates one of its events as a "points shoot" and all who attend are awarded points as shown in the scale below. The top 10 shooters, based on number of points, receive a silver belt buckle at the following year's banquet shoot. The event is open to Missouri residents only.
