When going to your first couple of registered tournaments, one of the most confusing things you’ll find yourself dealing with is trying to understand how the money purses work. Should you play them, and if so, which ones? How much do they cost, and how much can you win? Which ones should you stay away from? Which ones have All-American points tied to them and which ones are for cash only? This article will attempt to help answer these questions and make it a bit easier for a new shooter to learn what is being offered.
Please understand that the descriptions offered below are a generalization of the options. It is always at the discretion of the shoot organizers which options are offered and how the exact payouts will occur. The Shoot Program should completely document these options and payouts. Please read the program and ask the shoot organizers if you have any questions regarding any option!
