Use this REGISTRATION FORM for the TOTS event of your choice! Note that the registration form does not require money - all TOTS and Clout events are "pay at the door" EXCEPT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND. BUT! registering helps us plan the right number of targets, stands, enough room on the field, etc., so please don't register unless you want to shoot. If you end up not being able to shoot, please email the webmaster to let us know - there is no penalty or fee, it is just the right thing to do.

TOTS was designed to offer every archer an opportunity to shoot 36 arrows at their standard "OR" distance, regardless of what age, gender or discipline that archer is.  This makes it simpler for the event hosts to organize, and gives all our archers a legitimate 36-arrow score they can use to gauge their progress in USArchery events, as well as work on JOAD achievement pins.  This prepares them for competing in the USAA-sponsored national competitions (which are at their "OR" distances based on age, gender, and bow type). Since the club/host keeps the majority of the fees, it is a great way to earn operating funds for bales, targets, etc.

The first two distances and target sizes are "stock" USArchery formats (for example, 122cm face at 70M, then an 80cm face at 50M) followed by an extra challenge for the final 36 arrows - the 60cm face at 30M.  Most archers have found this to be where the fun really begins.  A primary goal, of course, is for our kids (and adults) to have fun with a bow in their hands.

72 arrows in a single day just isn't enough in most people's minds to justify the expense and the time of overnight stays.  The typical OR type tournament takes two days to shoot 144 arrows, all at one distance.

THIS 108-arrow single day TOTS format is in many ways a "Goldilocks" event that is just right in number of arrows, changes to keep the archer challenged, and able to be easily completed in a single day! TOTS has exploded in popularity for the simple reason that people feel they are getting in enough arrows to justify their travel time and expenses, and they don't have to incur lodging expenses or give up an entire weekend for a quality event. We try to keep things affordable - generally, the price is $20 to $25 per archer - the majority of which goes to the JOAD or CLUB to help them afford more gear, bales, arrows, etc., and a small amount ($5) goes towards the running of the finals and the awards to be given out thereupon.

Traditionally, Columbus has hosted the first TOTS shoot of the year due to it being the "birthplace" of that series and that round.

RUNNING CUMULATIVE TOTALS/RESULTS FOR ALL TOTS SCORES

SPECIAL: We have been running into a small difficulty. Each TOTS event has been wayyy popular - shooting lines "full" in advance, well ahead of the tournament date. The tournament directors have to actually turn folks away! Now, the TOTS are events where you let us know you want to shoot ahead of time (online), and you pay at the door. The TD does the target assignments and planning for all the complicated aspects like insuring there are enough target bales, stands, and faces set up at the appropriate distances, keeping track of bow types, gender, divisions, etc. and counts on there being the right number of each archer on each target for scoring and timely shooting - to insure a good time for all participants. Imagine how it works out, though, when there are no-shows - archers that just don't show up with no warning? It causes a mess for the TD and for the archers, lots of last minue juggling (instead of shooting arrows). If you are signed up for an event, please do NOT be rude. Don't be a no-show - let the contact person know as soon as you do, please. It's just good manners. And it doesn't cause problems for your fellow archers.

The goal is to provide a single-day event, easy for families to get to, inexpensive to participate in, and challenging enough to stimulate the competitiveness in youth archers. This also serves to get youth archers used to the competitive environment so when they get to the bigger tournaments they already know what to expect and can perform better, faster.

This outdoor target archery series features a new, youth-friendly 108-arrow round in an "outdoor league" atmosphere that culminates with a chance for participants to shoot for two titles in a final championship event in the fall.
 Archers wishing to participate in the A Outdoor Target Series will have several opportunities statewide to shoot at qualifying events. A minimum of three qualifying scores will be required to compete for the TOTS championship title. The final championship event for the TOTS series will be decided on in a final TOTS championship in the fall. 
The "A 1080" round is designed to offer archers and event organizers an efficient, easy to set up and easy to shoot tournament that can be completed in one day, while still allowing time for travel across our great state. The round reduces a full "FITA" by 36 arrows, but still preserves the multiple distances and target sizes many archers enjoy. It also features the target size and distance every archer will shoot for their elimination rounds during OR (Olympic Round) events. The Archival Archery is very grateful to John Magera and T.H.E. JOAD for promulgating the TOTS program!

We continue the couple of small changes made in 2015 ffor TOTS distances this year. First, and most significant is that the Barebow distances will reflect the distances recently chosen for the barebow division at Outdoor Nationals by having the Senior and Masters shoot 60/50/30, the Juniors and Cadets shoot 50/30/20, and the Cubs and Bowmen shooting 30/25/20.  

and in the non-competitive division;
Yeoman: 20/15/10 meters - no awards, but recognition is given.

***Target sizes will be 122/80/60 cm. The larger target at the longest distance, next smaller target at middle distance, etc.
Multiple target faces per bale will be available for compound archers (5-ring 80 cm faces) and for all archers at their closest distance to allow for six-arrow ends in the interest of time.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HOSTING A TOTS EVENT (and we have folks that will help you!), contact John Magera to coordinate and for more information. The modest $20 to $25 shooting fee remains mostly in the club's coffers - $5 goes to the TOTS organization for the Championship and Awards.

This page has been created to summarize all record scores for the TOTS program as of the end of the 2015 Series. Collated and summarized by Karin Magera! This will be updated AFTER the finals for 2016 have concluded.

From John Magera, here is some information on the various target faces used in a TOTS. Note they do not have to be "water-proof", but that he finds they last MUCH longer whether wet or dry conditions.

For a standard TOTS, you will want FIVE different target faces.  A lot, I know, but that's what makes it interesting for everyone.
1) Everyone will shoot a 122 cm face at the long distance, so plan on sufficient 122's total. They do not need to be "brand new" faces, just not shot to pieces!!  These are what we use: 

Maple Leaf WP-122cm Waterproof FITA Target Face www.lancasterarchery.com Purchase Maple Leaf WP-122cm Waterproof FITA Target Face at Lancaster Archery Supply. Get TechXPert advice online from our archery experts.

2) For the middle distance, you'll want to put Cadet and older compounders on the same bale so they can use individual 6-ring 80cm faces.  You'll want at least 10 like these, depending on how many compound archers you expect.

These look interesting too although I haven't tried them, they would work well for a bale with compound archers on it:

3) For the barebow/recure archers and the Cub/Bowman/Yeoman compounders at their middle distance, the standard 10-ring 80cm face is used.  You will probably want 10 Like this:

4) For the Cadet and older compounders, we use the vertical 3-spot 60cm face at the closest distance.  This allows the better compound archers to put two arrows in each spot and avoid crushing arrows at 30 meters.  The target looks like this:

Maple Leaf TA-60cm Vertical 3 Spot Target Face www.lancasterarchery.com Purchase Maple Leaf TA-60cm Vertical 3 Spot Target Face at Lancaster Archery Supply. Get TechXPert advice online from our archery experts.

5) Finally, for the younger compounders, the recurve and the barebow archers, they use the standard 10-ring 60cm face at the closest distance.  Like this:

You'll notice I linked to the "waterproof" faces because that's all I use if I can get them.  They just last so much longer and are harder to tear than the standard paper faces.
