This event will be a non-sanctioned event and will follow NFAA Rules and USA Archery dress code. We will shoot one 720 Round (AKA “Olympic Round). This will consist of 12 ends of 6 arrows for a total of 72 arrows. There will be no live scoring.
Membership is not required to participate.
2 Practice Ends:
4-minute time limit for each end.
If you are assigned to shoot bottom, you will always shoot 1st until 1/2 and then you will move from bottom to the top, and the top will move to the bottom.
You will not need to make you arrow holes. You can if you choose to, as long as you do not hold up the line.
No sky-drawing. Non-archers (including coaches and parents) are not allowed down-range without specific permission from the Tournament Director.
For Para archers, if an advocate is needed, or you will be providing an advocate, please note that on the registration form. Keep in mind: the archer will remain at the line (or under an umbrella or tent for sun/rain protection) during scoring if they have an advocate.
There will be concessions available during the 2025 event.
