It is with great pleasure that Sportsman's Team Challenge Association announces the introduction of the "Sub-Junior" program. We now have 2 classes that ages 8 through 13 can participate in. A class shoots all 6 events and B class shoots ONLY the 3 steel events. See the details a below.

This exciting new segment of competition will be open to youths 8-13 years of age and special accommodations are in place to ensure their enjoyment of the match. The full course of fire is available so the challenge is out there for everyone to rustle up a "Sub-Junior" team and bring them to the Nationals.
