It’s springtime and the bunnies are up to shenanigans.  This will be a shorter archery range, so we built the competition to be a challenge with that in mind, however it is open to all levels of participants.  There will be limited loaner archery gear available so please bring your own kit, with at least 6 arrows, if you can.

Archery range is scheduled to open at 11:00 am and our aim (pun intended) is to open with equipment inspections, competition signup, and warmups at that time. Your equipment must be inspected to shoot. The competition will begin at 12:30 pm. We want to start at 12:30. Please sign up and be inspected before 12:29. The range will only be open to the competition at that time.

If you are a marshal please come and help with inspections (even if you are also shooting). Also, if you are a marshal, come by and hang out with us! The more eyes on targets and archers, the safer we all will be.

*An Tir Rules apply to all things archery, please be kind to marshals (and everyone for that matter).
