The 2017 Match was FULL, so please register TODAY for your spot in the greatest shooting sports challenge of the year! Once spots are gone, you will not be able to register for the match! 

 REGISTRATION

On-line registration is a two-part process. First, complete this registration page and pay the entry fee. Second, beginning June 1, 2018 NRA staff will email completed registrants a practiscore registration link which will enable self-squadding and enter you into our scoring system. You must complete the practiscore registration link in order to shoot the match!

                NOTICE!  Pro Shooters who will receive a registration slot due to your sponsors support of the NRA WSC please email Aaron Farmer Match Director at afarmer@nrahq.org for a separate registration link! You will not receive your match slot until your sponsor's agreement is signed with NRA!  

 MATCH ENTRY

Competitors must enter the correct division in which they belong. Disqualification with forfeiture of the entry fee will occur in the event a competitor enters the tournament in an improper division. Competitors may change divisions after their initial registration but must make such change before they fire their first shot in the tournament. Division changes must be done in the Statistical Office and approved by the Match Director, and cannot be made on the range at the individual events. There will be no delays to the firing of the first stage to allow a competitor to return to the Stat Office to make changes. All competitors will be required to sign the Peacemaker National Training Center, LLC waiver and the National Rifle Association Liability Waiver prior to accessing the facility for the match.
