Remember the special policy the TSAA has to encourage family participation: Anytime there are more than two archers in a family, the third and beyone pay only $10 per person to register for any event. Now, the first two archers have to be the most expensive, (ie, the seniors), but after mom and dad pay full price, all the kids pay only $10 per person to register with full competitive opportunity.

WARNING
The field has been altered to be more exciting and will have fewer if any plain old flat targets. Wear ankle supporting hiking shoes and be prepared for a walk of 1.1 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 the exotic game animals from escaping. Management would be highly appreciative!
