Awards for rifle will include team awards, individual high-point, and a special county award. Awards for archery will include individual awards and a county award. Rules for these events will follow Texas 4-H 3-Position Rifle Rules and Texas 4-H Archery Rules as well as the guidelines provided online in support of this postal league event.
