Shooting and Drone Competition
Thursday, June 29
First bus leaves convention center at 10:00am
This year we have added a Shooting Competition to the Drone Competition – so bring your precision shooting and flying skills to show off for bragging rights and some great prizes.
The event will be held at the Kent County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) Facilities, only a 10-minute drive from the convention center with round trip transportation provided. It is free to attend or to compete. Lunch will be provided for all attendees and competitors.
Spectators
The event is open to all conference attendees including exhibitors and sponsors. This is a fun event with the opportunity to watch the competitions, go to the Test Fly Field and try your hand at flying a drone, visit the vendor area and see some great vendors outside the exhibit hall. Check out vendors like Echodyne demonstrating their radar in action in a way they cannot on the show floor in the hall. Grab lunch and catch the scheduled demonstrations throughout the day.
To ensure we have enough bussing please sign up to attend so we know how many spectators will be coming out to the site. Complete sign-up form here.
SHOOTING EVENT
The shooting event will utilize IDPA scoring system. Each stage will be timed, and additional time will be added for shots into the lesser scoring areas.
