| 4H Tourney This was the largest 4H archery tournament in the U.S. !!!! There were 145 kids and about 170 entries. Some took their sights off to shoot barebow, some shot compound and recurve, some shot 9 meters then tried 18 meters. A couple who did all of the above. We had one archer who shoot a 286 and then a 292 with his compound. Since this was the end of the indoor season many are ready to come play outdoors. Reaching the longer distances will be a challenge for many of the first year shooters. Check here for the Tourney Results> |

The Practice Field can be found at the very north end of the North-South street called Speedway. There are maps to help find your way: Intramural Locations Please remember the deadline for getting your check POSTMARKED is March 25th to avoid a late fee.

| StateField The Archival Archery State Field Championship is being held this year near Columbus, west of Houston, between Altair and Eagle Lake. Information and registration Please remember the deadline for getting your entry check POSTMARKED is May 6 to avoid a late fee. Entries postmarked after May the 6th deadline are an extra $10. (and more importantly it makes it harder for the tournament organizer to plan the event well). Remember that the adult fee is $25 and all Junior/Cadet/Cub/Bowman are $15. If you are shooting the optional unmarked round or in need of a box lunch for Saturday, add $5 for each of those two options. Please make checks payable to the Archival Archery and send with your printed information form as soon as possible to State Field 2703 Cornell Cove Lago Vista, TX 78645-7238. (Some people have sent ONLY a check in the mail and this makes things difficult- please include the entry form per the website) Since many archers have never shot this kind of unmarked archery round, a comment from the Archival Archery president may help you decide to participate: "For those shooting the unmarked round, this is a round for experienced people who want to test their skills on unmarked distances so a word of caution to people not familiar with this round; it could be aggravating and you could lose some arrows. Use your discretion or ask me for details first and I would be glad to assist you. This round is fun if you know what to look for. Volunteers are welcome and can also shoot the unmarked course if they choose. It will be fun! John Blaschke has agreed to host the event on his outstanding facility. This promises to be the best state field ever. Minimal mosquitoes but plenty of wild game, bring your cameras, leave the broadheads and guns at home."
