RULES AND INFORMATION    REGISTERED ARCHERS    VIEW LAST YEAR'S PICS

Note that the starting shooting time on Saturday is 11AM!

Note for families with more than two archers:  The TSAA now discounts entry fees - the first two archers (adults if in a senior&junior event) pay full fees, and all other family members 18 years and under pay only $10 apiece.

Entries must be postmarked on/before  April 28th  to avoid late fee of $10
BBQ is tentative at this time - Stay tuned to this site for further updates.

One-day shooting is available (either Saturday or Sunday) to those who would like to give field archery a try.  $15 and no awards given. Indicate in the comment box field of the entry form if you wish to try for just one day.

NOTE: We may turn all the distance markers facing the target so that archers participating in the NAA/World field trials can get a feel for unmarked distances. In this situation: you would take your best guess at determining the distance, then look at the distance marker. Try not to take too much time. If you hold up a group behind you, let them pass. For everyone else, check the distance and proceed shooting as normal. This is NOT an UNMARKED FIELD round! 

Official T-shirts will be available by the Victoria Archers. Price is $15.   There is a map on the back of the T-shirt to keep archers from getting lost.

$25 for Adults divisions, $20 for JOAD.   Guests are welcome and encouraged. Make checks payable to the TSAA and mail to:

RV's are welcome. On April 5th and 19th, there will be a work party for those who would like to help out and just enjoy a nice day out-n-about. B-B-Q lunch at Austin's in Eagle Lake to help make the day go mo better.    Bring your favorite weapon(firearm).  We will work awhile and then we will play awhile.  Contact Rick Stonebraker for details if you are interested.

WARNING
The field has been altered and very few if any flat targets. Wear ankle supporting hiking shoes and be prepared for a walk of about 1 1/2 miles for the course. Get some exercise in early and walk some stairs or hills if possible. The course is challenging and more so than in previous years.

NOTE: When entering or exiting the high fence gate, please wait until the gate starts to close before continuing to keep animals from escaping. Management would be highly appreciative!
