The Utah Hunting Skills Challenge will take place May 15-16, with events at the Cache Valley Public Shooting Range in Logan. This fun, hands-on challenge is a great event for target shooters of all ages and skill levels. If you've completed a hunter education course, you're eligible to participate!
Please register on our Eventbrite page by May 8, as early registration helps us finalize the details and make this our best event yet. However, registration will remain open until May 15.
Cost
$35 per participant. Please register via Eventbrite with a credit card.
NOTE: We will accept cash for those who choose to pay on the day of the event. Please bring exact change.
As a special incentive, if an adult who has participated in a past year also registers a first-time youth competitor, they can get $10 off their registration! Please contact Tristan Doyle at Tdoyle@utah.gov for more information.
