Here are a few final reminders and important details regarding the Modified Trap Meeting scheduled for Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the Georgia National Fairgrounds.

There is a 56% chance of rain for Saturday with morning thunder showers. The low will be 62 and the high 79 degrees! Be prepared! Don't forget to wear your Thomas County 4-H t-shirt!

Please refer to the attached map of the fairgrounds, which shows the shooting line, parking areas, and other key points. Fairgrounds staff will be on-site to assist with traffic and parking. We ask that everyone be courteous and patient, as this is a new event for all involved. We appreciate your cooperation in making this a successful experience.

Tent Set-up: Tents are allowed for this event. Counties may set up tents on Friday afternoon between 5:00 and 7:00PM. A clearly marked line is 40’ behind the target line. All tents and materials must be behind this line. There will be time to add tents on Saturday morning. On Saturday, supplies must be carried from behind the parking barrier. To maintain a safe space, vehicles must remain behind the parking barriers.

It is extremely important that all coaches are present at 9:00AM for the coaches meeting. This is our first time holding the state match at the GNFA in Perry, and there will additional information to cover. We plan to make the line hot at 9:30AM

Station Assignments: We will be at station 13 along with Decatur, Seminole, Grady, Mitchell and Early County.

They will have two double stations: 1 for Juniors and 1 for Seniors. The doubles stations will be midfield.

Due to the timing of Saturday morning's sunrise, please ensure that all shooters come prepared with appropriate eye protection. This may include tinted safety glasses or sunglasses.

Coaches and staff members should come to registration prepared to designate their teams and identify the individuals who will be receiving scorecards.

To ensure the match runs efficiently, please have junior competitors shoot first at your stations. Turn in scorecards to the scoring tent as soon as they are complete.

Concessions will be available!
