nametags with your names and hometown on them. Email us if you have changes.

you can find your way to the registration desk at Meier Hall on the BHSU campus.

some gear to loan out during the weekend.

5. Attend the Shootout Primer on Friday.

The Black Hills Photo Club will hold a primer for photographers at the Outdoor Campus

West in Rapid City. Find more info on the Social Events page.

Become a fan of our Facebook page to keep up on the latest news and fun stuff.

View and share photos on our Flickr page.

7. Show up on the big screen.

Be a part of the Campfire Slide Show on Saturday night at the High Plains Heritage Center.

This is a chance to share your work, get feedback if you wish and get to know your fellow

shooters. Find tips to make your own slideshow here.

8. Bring along a good book.

Dust off your old books and bring them to the Saturday night social. There will be a

table set up for a book exchange. Bring an old photo book and trade it in for something

new for a small donation.

9. Dress for the occasion.

Get your Official Shootout t-shirts and gear at the Cafe Press Store.

10. Join us at the end of trail in Deadwood.

We are planning to be at the Deadwood Social Club on Sunday night. Dinner will be

optional (Check out the menu here) and we'll have a social to meet and cap the weekend.

Email us if you think you will attend so we can give them a rough count.

All's thats left is to roundup your gear and check-in!
