The Shootout as is all of our competition is based on the honor system. The goal is for Council members to have a spirited competition and get know each other (a little bonding and camaraderie), and enjoy each others company. As those who participated it in the past will attest, it is lots of fun and is growing in popularity each year. The river is very low and visibility should be excellent this year.
Each council registered club is requested to support the Shootout by a donation $150. Individual divers may make a donation of any amount and donate prizes and/or entrance prizes.
The Shootout site is located at The Cajun Sportsman Marina. It is requested that divers stay over to Sunday and drive home or have a designated diver. NO DUI OR DWI’s are allowed.
