About the Belt Buckle Challenge Series
Three 100-target fun shoots where the proceeds send kids and siblings fighting pediatric cancer to Camp Wapiyapi’s summer camp.
The individual winner of the 2025 Series will be determined by adding each shooter’s two highest event scores to qualify for the top-5 shoot-off on September 20th. Sponsored Squads can qualify on a single shoot; the squad's average score will determine which two squads qualify for the shoot-off. Station prizes, BBQ lunches, rockabilly music, and a trade/demo fair, plus custom belt buckles for the winners!

Frequently Asked Questions
bucklechallenge.org has all the latest information.
No! The three separate 100-target shoots will get progressively more challenging.
The opening event at Silver Creek on July 19th will be the best chance for high scores. The second event at Colorado Clays on August 23rd will be more difficult. And the third event at Kiowa on September 20th will have harder targets. All three of the 100-target events will carry the same weight with regard to qualifying for the
Belt Buckle shoot-off, which will take place after lunch at Kiowa on 9/20/25.
Camp Wapiyapi is a 501-c-3 nonprofit that provides a free summer camp experience for kids/siblings fighting childhood cancer. The camp is held in Colorado's Rocky Mountains every year and serves about 100 kids/summer. Counselors and medical staff are volunteers. There is no cost to participating families. Camp Wapiyapi was founded by medical students from the University of Colorado over 25 years ago. Learn lots more; check out campwapiyapi.org
Yes! Camp Wapiyapi is an IRS-designated 501-c-3 nonprofit.
Right after lunch at Kiowa on September 20th, 2025.
No, because the entry fees are priced at the cost of hosting the event. In the case of Early Bird pricing, the entry fees are priced below the cost of hosting the event.
The IRS does not allow a tax deduction for entry fees that are priced at or below the value received. Any additional donation paid over/above the entry fee is tax deductible!
Individual shooters can request amenities and make squadding requests when they register on ScoreChaser, but these are not the same as Sponsored Squads). To register your Sponsored Squad, Call Dr. Bruce Evans, 303-803-4792.
September 20th at Kiowa (3rd event) during lunch.
No. Caterers, course fees, musicians and golf cart vendors still need to be paid, and other shooters may not be readily available to take your spot.
Yes! As a Squad Sponsor, you can designate 4-6 shooters per squad per event from your business, (partners, employees, VIP clients, vendors). Please do not recruit a "fantasy football" squad from outside your business - the honor system applies.
The Sponsored Squad that wins the Belt Buckle Championship Shoot-off on 9/20/25 will be awarded belt buckles, (maximum six buckles).
ScoreChaser registration for Individual shooters opens January 1st (you can request amenities and squad mates, which are not the same as Sponsored Squads).

Buckle shoot-off with their best two event scores (best of 200 possible points), even if the individual shoots all three of the 100-target events. Sponsored squads qualify for the
