MSAA Grand Champion Award
An MSAA Grand Champion is the very best that the MSAA has to offer by way of competition.
A Grand Champion Award is given annually in each MSAA division/class to the person that has accumulated the highest cumulative score after having shot the MSAA Regional (only one score required), Indoor, Target, Field, and 3D.
MSAA Grand Champions are recognized at the State Indoor Tournament following the year in which they had won the award. The award is a beautiful engraved walnut plaque personalized with the winner's name and division/class.
