For those who want VIP perks without needing to fundraise, NEW this year is the option to sign up as a VIP by paying the $250 VIP Registration Fee to be Eligible for the VIP Perks!

How It Works:
• Register as a Regular or VIP Shooter (to get extra perks)
• Break as many targets as you can (up to 50)
• Win prizes, play games, have fun, and support an amazing cause!
