We look forward to working closely with USA Archery to provide a great tournament experience."
USA Archery National Events Manager Sheri Rhodes shared the excitement: "We were very impressed by the bid the club submitted. After speaking with the event organizers on a site visit, we were very happy to see the depth of their organization, and that they had a lot of different people take part and they all really came together to get things done. The facility is something our membership will be really pleased with."
She added: "The event will be well budgeted and Chris has a good handle on the business end of running an archery tournament.
