About these county lists
The lists above are transcribed exactly as the association published them, errors included:
- Lane County is listed in both the Southern and the Northern zone.
- Jefferson County is listed twice within the Northern zone.
- The Eastern zone list prints "Cook" and "Gillam", almost certainly Crook and Gilliam.
Zone membership follows a shooter's county of residence, so nothing here assigns a club to a zone. The intended lists have not been confirmed anywhere, and this page will carry the correction as soon as the board settles them.

How a Zone Shoot works
The rules below are the association's own text for the three zone format, printed as written. The Zone Team Championship is decided at the Oregon State Shoot.
Where and when the Zone Shoots are held
Shooters will qualify in their respective zone of residence at an annual State Zone Shoot held at a club to be determined each year by the OSATA Directors resident in that zone. In any year when the OSATA State Shoot is hosted within a zone it is strongly recommended that the Zone Shoot in that zone be hosted by a different club within that zone. The State Zone Shoots will be held during the current target year at a date to be determined by the OSATA Directors resident in that zone and must be hosted before the OSATA State Shoot.
How a Zone Team is qualified
Qualification for each Zone Team will be determined by the high scores achieved in the 200-target Singles Championship at each State Zone Shoot. A shooter can only qualify for the Zone Team in the zone of their residence. The high five scorers from each zone present at the OSATA State Shoot will form the Zone Team. In case of ties for the final place(s) among those Zone Team qualifiers present at the OSATA State Shoot, the OSATA Directors resident in that zone will determine how to resolve the tie.
The Zone Team competition, trophies and the zone fee
The Zone Team competition will be held concurrent with the 200-target ATA Singles Championship at the State Shoot. Trophies will be provided by the OSATA and will be awarded to each member of the winning Zone Team. A State Zone fee of $2.00 per 100 targets will be assessed at all State Zone Shoots and will be used to offset the cost of the Zone Team trophies.
Event format at a Zone Shoot
The event format for a State Zone Shoot will be determined by the OSATA Directors resident in that zone and must include at least one 200-target Zone Singles Championship. The shoot can be a one or two-day event with trophies, purses, added money, etc. determined by the host club in concert with the OSATA Directors resident in that zone. This proposal encourages trophies, purses, added money, etc. be offered as open thereby encouraging participation from shooters from other zones within Oregon as well as other states to participate. All State Zone Shoots will be OSATA Magnum eligible. When more than one State Zone Shoot handicap is hosted on the same day, Magnums will be paid on the combined results.
Programs
The published program for each State Zone Shoot must be forwarded to the State Secretary at least 30 days in advance of the competition.
Zone Shoot dates
The published format names no Zone Shoot dates, host clubs or results. Each is set for the target year by the OSATA Directors resident in that zone, and they will be listed here once the association publishes them.
