Event Info Introduction
Event Info Introduction
Welcome to the online home of the Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge. If you’re new to the TOC, here’s a one-minute rundown:
It’s called the “Total Outdoorsman” Challenge for a reason. We’re not looking for the hunter who can shoot the tightest groups, or the angler who can catch the biggest bass in the lake. We’re looking for the outdoorsman who can do both. Actually, we’re looking for someone who can do more than that: Someone who can cast a fly rod as well as a trout guide, is deadly with a bow, can bust clays with a side-by-side, and maneuver an ATV in the mud. In short we’re for the total package. If this sounds like a tough challenge, it’s because, well, it is. But if you’ve mastered these skills better than anyone else, we’ve got a $25,000 check with your name on it.
This is the six year of the TOC, and the action is almost underway with Qualifier events taking place at 48 Bass Pro Shops on April 25 and 26. Click here for a list of participating stores. The top finishers at each Qualifier will advance to the Regionals, where they’ll compete for one of 12 spots in the TOC finals in September. Now, we understand if you can’t make it to a Qualifer. That’s why we’ve set aside one Wild Card spot in the finals. Click here for details on the contest.
Alright, so maybe that was more than one-minute history. But hopefully now you know what the TOC is all about. If you have any more questions, you ask at our Q&A tool. And while you’re at the website, be sure to check out the TOC Blog and our Answers Tool for event news, and hunting and fishing tips. Who knows, those tips might just help you become the next Total Outdoorsman.

Do we supply our own air rifle, archery and fishing gear, or is it all supplied for us, at the event location??
You need to supply your own bow and arrows. Air Rifles and bait casting rods will be supplied for you.
Do I have to be in the competion on both days or can I sign up saturday morning for the sunday competion?
is there a event for youngsters or how old does one have to be to compete.
I would like to tell the field & stream commission. this event was my first and I hope knot my last. one of the best and exiting things I have ever did. And your magazine is one of the best books that I have ever read and seen. thank you I well never forget.
drove 2 hours to bass pro shop in finger lakes NY to do the total outdoorsmen challenge and arrived at 4;08 pm on sunday 04-26-09 , was told that i could not try out cause it was after 4;00 pm . was not happy !!! worked all weekend and got out as early as i could on sunday and could not beleive that this outfit would turn down anybody late or not !! computer and magazines only stated start times and not finish times. I would think a valued customer would be treated better than this !!!! was very excited about this event
am wondering if feild and stream relizes how bass pro shops treats there customers
Bass pro was and is only folowing rules set by field & stream. Rules state it is at bass pro's discression to accept or deniy any or all application. As far as being late is 1 second any differnt than 60 minutes or 24 hours? It has to be even and fair for everyone. I am truly sorry you wheren't able to compete new faces and possibly new friends within the toc make it more worth while. Hopefully you will still concider next years qualifier.
had a great time thanks field and stream and bass pro
This was my first time with this event. I think that this event is great, i give alot of credit 2 all those who have organized such a fun weekend outting!! I now have a good idea of the format of this event and am looking forward 2 the results for this year, as well a being envolved annually. Oh yeah and as for the guy who was crying about the 2 hour drive and not being able 2 qualifie, all the info was posted at the bass pro locations!! Also there is a wild card you should have filled that out!!
does any one know when the results for total outdoorsman challenge will be post...
I was told we should know by May 15th I know it's not an exact date but better than nothing.
The scores are being tabulated over the next few days. As soon as they are finished, we'll post them. The top 200 Qualifiers will receive email communication on how to sign up for his or her Regional of choice. Keep checking the web site.
Quick question what if someone qualifies for reginal and decides not to go are there going to be runner ups?
Hey John or Eric is the archery equipment going to be provided at the reginals or are qualifiers to bring there own?
Hey John or Eric is the archery equipment going to be provided at the reginals or are qualifiers to bring there own?
The Regional Event is open to the top 200 scores from the Qualifiers.
All Equipment including bows will be provided for competitor's use at the Regionals.
Has anyone heard the results from the qualifier competition from the 25th-26th. I was at the Garland store and Have not heard anything about the results.
Do you have to use the archery equipment or can you still use your own? Does anyone know. I had so much fun at the event and am waiting to hear who qualified.

If you make it to the Regionals, you will have to use equipment supplied by the organizers. You will not be able to use your own bow.
Just wanted to let everyone one the f&s staff I had a great time at the bass pro in springfield MO. I thought it was well set up and very organized. I hope to see you at regionals. just wondering how any others did score wise? I shot a 125.
Hey jasonmicheal25 I hope to see you there as well. Whiich one will you be at? My score was 139 and I was wondering how I stacked-up to the competition? I can`t wait for the regionals.
My score of 139 was out of a possible 150. It was 50 points for each of the objectives. I had lots of fun and my brother did as well. The next day I went to the bow shop and to my surprize the upper limb on my Martin Moab was cracked and with further investigation for the past four weeks it has been this way. The day before the TOC my brother and I shot the Reinhart Tournement in Tyler,TX and I got 5th in the N.American Range and I got 1st on the African range. Each range consisted of 50 targets. Let me tell you it was a long day.
hey lautrey I think i will be at the one in Independance KS. what about you? I have competed in nashville in 2007 and last year in independance. so far i haven't been able to move on to nationals yet. the best i have done is 5th in both regionals.
"Hey jason" I'm not being smart but with some people haveing the chance to go numerous times, do you think a 120 score stands a chance?
hey jab8357 Its hard to say with so may competitors. and not just the number of people but the number of locations. its especially hard to know for sure. me personaly think that a 120 is a very respectable score. it might be frustrating because some people might have the high score for their store but still might be out of the top 200. I wish i could tell you more but i don't know any more than that.
i feel the same about any score in the 120's... i competed in california and out of all the people who tried out for the toc on the day i did only one broke the 120's... that is a good score...
Does anyone know when the Regional list comes out? I know technically they have till the 15th.....just curious.
i hope the results come out soon i shot a decent score.it was my first time at the event and have high hopes of making the regionals
I was wondering if anyone from the Dania, FL BPS has been watching this site. If so does anyone want to travel as a group. I checked the pdf and there are 5 of us that made the cut. If so contact me : email --> goldbukl@bellsouth.net to talk about it.
I know you said to use your bow but does that include a release.
We have releases available or you can use your own.
I still have had no response from Bass Pro or field and stream concerning my entry form. I scored 132, scores were verified by each person at each station and the entry was turned in. The Bass pro person won't return calls. The only thing I get from Field and Stream is a sorry we cant find the entry. If you could just find out who was taking the entries at the OKC store this could be solved. The thing that I cant stand the most is the lack of communication on the iussue.
I have been participating the last 2 years in the total outdoorsman challenge. However this year, even though, Field and stream has my e-mail address, I was never notified that this year we will have to pre-qualify in the nearest Bass Proshop Stores. So, I missed the pre-qualification and I will not be able to participate in the regional, that will take place on June in Pennsylvania. I believe you have to establish a standard method to avoid to leave contestants out of the event, as it did happen to me.
