THE 2008 SHOOTOUT PRIZE WINNERS

Thank you for joining us at the 15th Annual Buffalo Bill Invitational Shootout on August 14-16, 2008. Organized under the auspices of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center and Cody Shooting Complex, the Shootout helps showcase the importance of the shooting sports and America's firearms industry, as well as the history of firearms.

This is a 350-target shoot with targets for each of the following: skeet (100); trap (50); wobble trap (50); 5 stand (50); and sporting clays (100). Each discipline is scored one point per target. Any gauge shotgun may be used, and there is no class distinction. There are three ways to win:

1. Top Gun qualifies you to win the top prize for high overall and women's cumulative score. The entry fee is $250.00. This fee includes the cost for all targets shot in competition, as well as admission to the opening reception on Thursday evening and for one (1) to the awards dinner on Saturday night. (Additional guests for the dinner are welcome, and the cost for each is $35 per person.)
2. Top Discipline Shooter qualifies you to win the top prize for competition in each of the four disciplines. Prizes are awarded to the high score in trap, skeet, 5 stand, and sporting clays. The entry fee for each individual discipline is $100.00. Admission for one (1) person to the awards dinner is included.
3. Top Team is awarded to the squad with the highest cumulative score for all disciplines. The entry fee for each team is equivalent to five (5) fees for Top Gun, or $1250, and includes all shooting fees and awards banquet attendance.

All prizes are awarded on a Lewis class system with a minimum of four classes. Competition begins at 9:00 a.m. Friday, August 15, 2008, at the Cody Shooting Complex, approximately five miles north of Cody on Highway 120. If you cannot make your scheduled shooting times, accommodations for another time may be made at the discretion of the Shootout Committee.
