AIM State Shoot Fees
Attention all shooters, coaches and directors!
There has been some confusion about paying additional fees to cross register targets for State Shoots. If AIM shoots are shot in conjunction with a State shoot’s 200 bird event there are NO additional daily/state/target fees. All State Shoot AIM awards are specialty awards. They are not considered an ATA trophy so will not interfere with section X/ D:1 of the rule book.
We are sorry for the confusion.

AIM Online Handicap Championships Results News
The Results from the October Online Handicap Shoot have been pulled. The AIM Team has received phone calls from concerned coaches as to why some of his/her shooters scores were not included in the results, coaches experiencing this issue were coaches that faxed in their results. The AIM team originally only received the first page of the fax. Therefore, if a coach had multiple pages of scores the first page was the only page processed. We are looking into this issue with our electronic fax machine. We were able to upload the other pages in a different format. We apologize for the inconvenience and want to extend a sincere apology to our AIM Shooters, Coaches, and Parents. This is very frustrating to us as well. We will be posting what we will deem “Preliminary Results” please check these scores and ensure that all shooters that participated in the event are shown on the Preliminary Results page. Coaches will have until Monday November 29th to make sure all scores are accounted for. Again, we understand that this is frustrating. We simply want to make sure that the results are correct and fair.
Please contact AIM at aim@shootata.com concerning score entries.
Regards,
AIM Team

Greetings from your AIM team at ATA Headquarters!
Click Here to Download in PDF format
We have some exciting news to share as the momentum with the ATA's inaugural youth program AIM is intensifying at a stellar pace.
We are receiving steady and incredible encouragement from our Industry Partners who want to be an integral part of AIM's mission to introduce and attract young people to ATA trapshooting - and they are demonstrating their commitment with generous AIM SPONSORSHIPS!
Everyday we are responding to urgent inquiries from clubs, associations and individuals from across the USA and Canada who want to jump on the AIM bandwagon!
There has been a fantastic surge in requests for the ATA Coach Schools in both countries and we are scheduling these as quickly as possible!
Bolstered by these early successes, we are taking steps to make AIM even more available to everyone - we want everybody to have a shot at this fantastic opportunity to join the wonderful ATA community and experience the thrill of our sport!
Accordingly, we have significantly reduced the 2008-2009 participant registration fees for AIM! Effective immediately, these fees are now set at a mere $13 per year for the program, lowered from the previous $25 fee – and 100% of these AIM participation registration fees will still go towards awards and scholarships! ATA Membership remains a requirement to be a participant in AIM and the annual ATA dues for all AIM participants, pre-sub through collegiate categories, remain at only $12.
In keeping with our goal to make AIM more inclusive for everyone - and to reinforce our belief of the importance of our youth to the Grand American World Trapshoot - we have secured the best dates possible for the first-ever AIM GRAND CHAMPIONSHIPS.
AIM participants will be competing for championship titles on August 8th and 9th at the 2009 Grand American at the WSRC in Sparta, Illinois. We are thrilled to announce there will be over 415 awards available to be won - with a special awards ceremony honoring the winners on Sunday.
We are also in the process of creating some fantastic, fun special events specifically for AIM GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP competitors, their friends and families. More news on these happenings soon!
If you have any questions, please give us a call or drop us a line. In the meantime, we would like to extend a huge thank-you from all of us for your overwhelming support of our youth and AIM!
