At the Fall 2025 Meeting - the Board of Directors Voted on the Following:

State Field/Hunter & Animal Combined:​​​

2-year trial for 2026 & 2027 - Combining the Field/Hunter round on Saturday with an Animal round on Sunday into one event. 
Saturday will be a 14 Field / 14 Hunter and Sunday will be a 28 Animal Round.  New records would be established for the Field/Hunter round if adopted after the 2 year trial.  Animal round records can be set during the trial period as we currently have records for the one day and the way the round will be shot does not change with the combination.  Awards will be given based on the overall combined score for the weekend. 
 

Competitive Division Separation for Senior & Youth Age Groups:​​​

All divisions will now be separate from each other at all age levels for competition and award purposes. 

For all senior and youth age groups:
