The bronze costs $10 for adults and $5 for youth (ages 6-17) for a one-hour session with 10-meter air rifles, including range instruction and rifle use. The silver costs $49 for adults and $29 for youth for a two-hour session, combining trail use on mountain bikes or inline skates with shooting of air rifles. The gold cost $79 for adults and $59 for youth for a two-hour session with use of .22 caliber rifle and ammunition plus trail access. Team relays or individual competitions are also conducted.
