Slingshot Competition

Registration Deadline June 1st

Event Information

Putnam Parks & Pathways’ inaugural slingshot competition, A.I.M. (Amazing Indiana Marksmanship), takes place June 28-30 at Greencastle’s Jaycee Park.

A.I.M. is a three-day affair, challenging youth and adult competitors to four tournament events and two ticket events.

Tournament Events are played for score and include a Woods Course, Speed Shoot, Paper Plate Shoot, and World Cup Knock-Down. Individuals will compete at their discretion throughout Friday and Saturday. A more detailed schedule can be found below.

Ticket Events give two participants the chance to wager their tickets in a winner-takes-all contest of skill. These tickets can then be used to enter raffles at the end of the tournament. Tournament events will be available as ticket events after being played for score.
