• Each participating club will assign a “Shoot Manager/Managers” that will be responsible for collecting the league registration fees and submitting the scores. Additionally, the score sheets must be retained by the gun club so that they can be recalled in the event of ties or if posted scores are called into question.
• Shooters must be a Florida resident for the 6 months preceding the league start date to participate.
• Shooters can shoot their weekly targets at any participating Florida Gun Club. Consideration will be taken into account if there is a non-FTA gun club that hosts a large group of FTA shooters. Such considerations must be approved by the FTA Officers prior to the start of the League.
• The league will be “non-registered”, but we strongly encourage you to run it concurrently with an ATA Big 50 or 100 target event. Clubs or shoot managers may contact the FTA Secretary to set up shoot dates if they don’t currently have them. By doing this, non-ATA members will have an opportunity to see what ATA/FTA shoots are about! ATA rules will preside so a minimum of three shooters are required, and the use of a dedicated puller/scorer is mandatory per ATA rules. Shooters must declare, prior to shooting, that they are shooting league scores.
• The league will consist of 400 singles targets shot across eight weeks. They must be shot ATA style (25 targets per round, 5 targets per post, and 5 posts per field.)
• Target Setting: Targets must be set in accordance with ATA regulations.
• Costs: Each shooter will pay a one-time $25 registration fee at the beginning of the Summer League. 100% of the registration fees that are collected will be returned to shooters in the form of payouts/trophies. The weekly target cost will be set by the hosting gun club.
• Awards: The exact form of the trophies/payouts will be determined by the FTA Officers once we know how many participants have entered. Ideally, we would like to award nice belt buckles or do a “Lewis Class” payout within each class + Champion and Runner-Up.
• Payment of League Fees: The registration fees must be collected prior to a shooter shooting their first league score. Fees should be mailed to the secretary using the provided form.
• Classification: A five-class system will be used (AA,A,B,C,D) and will be based on a shooter’s previous 1000 ATA targets. In the event a shooter does not have an established ATA average, their class will be calculated by adding their first four weeks scores together and taking the average.
• Shooters must register for the league by the end of the third week.

• Duration and Dates: The Duration of the league will be ten calendar weeks Beginning on July 15^th and concluding September 22^nd (8 league weeks and 2 weeks for makeups. This duration will allow shooters who are attending The Grand American or who have prior engagements to participate.
• Week 1 – July 15^th – July 21^st
• Week 2 – July 22^nd – July 28^th
• Week 3 – July 29^th – August 4^th
• Week 4 – August 5^th – August 11^th 
• Week 5 – August 12^th – August 18^th
• Week 6 – August 19^th – August 25^th
• Week 7 – August 26^th – September 1^st
• Week 8 – September 2^nd – September 8^th
• Make-up Week 1 – September 8^th – September 15^th
• Make-up Week 2 – September 16th – September 22^nd

• Make-ups/Shooting Ahead: Shooters may elect to shoot ahead one week of league targets. If a 100 target ATA shoot is used to fulfill league scores, shooters may elect to use the first 50 targets for that week’s league and the second 50 may (but are not required) be used to “shoot ahead” and count for the next weeks scores. Shooters should utilize the make-up weeks to fill in missing scores. All targets must be shot by September 22^nd.
• Missing Scores: Any shooter who does not complete the league will not be eligible for payouts/trophies and will enter a DNF.
• Score Submission: Scores will be submitted to trh.trap@gmail.com using the provided score submission form.
• Ties: Ties will be settled by a “Long Run” or a “Reverse Long Run. The method to be used will be determined by flipping a coin. Heads will represent “Long Run” and tails will represent “Reverse Long Run”. If “long Run” is used, the shooter with the longest consecutive number of dead targets (from the first target shot week one) will be the winner. If “Reverse Long Run” is used, the shooter with the longest consecutive number of dead targets (counting backwards from the last target shot week eight) will be the winner.
