AIMS XTREME

The AIMS Xtreme program introduces Mississippi’s Varsity students (grades 9-12) who have been participating in both  MSNASP Bullseye and MSNASP 3D to more advanced archery platform introducing a legal hunting bow.  The AIMS Xtreme program is an indoor program utilizing a Mathews GEN X bow and flat face animal targets at distances of 10 and 15 meters. This program runs simultaneously with the MSNASP Bullseye program and culminates with a State Championship that, in conjunction with the AIMS All Stars, closes out the AIMS State Championships. This program continues in the summer months (July & August) with a North and South Invitational Tournament.

AIMS X-TREME uses the new Gen-X bow with a 40 pound peak weight and is equipped with an adjustable sight, tunable arrow rest, peep sight, stabilizer, string loop, and a comfortable caliper style release aid.

Xtreme Bow
The new AIMS EXTREME bow pictured above is loaded out with great terminal gear that is at home on the range or in the woods.

In capable hands, this rig is sufficient to take down a whitetail deer. This division will also introduce a new challenge for high school-aged student-athletes. The AIMS X-TREME program differs not only in the equipment from AIMS but also in the targets, which are durable animal-style target faces that are easily stored and transported, simplifying range setup for instructors and students. These targets fit easily on standard AIMS target bags, making the X-TREME program affordable for every school.

Targets
This is two of the six target faces used in AIMS X-TREME competition.

The format for X-TREME will follow the standard AIMS format: one practice end of five arrows for practice, followed by three scoring ends at 10 meters. Student-athletes will move to 15 meters and repeat the process with one practice end followed by three scoring ends. A perfect score of 300 is possible, and ties will be broken by the AIMS X-TREME protocol.

All competitors will use the same model and style of equipment. The picture below shows the equipment that is allowed for competition. Easton Genesis arrows are the required arrows, fletched with 3-inch straight vanes. The arrows must be full-length with glue-in points installed. Floor quivers are the only style of quiver allowed.
