Colorado Springs, CO - USA Archery has released an updated 2013 national events schedule. The event schedule coincides with the release of selection procedures for the Cadet, Junior, Senior and Para United States Archery Teams (USAT), and selection procedures for the 2013 Archery World Cup events. Please click here to view Archery World Cup selection procedures; click here to view USAT selection procedures. Funding for World Cup teams has not yet been determined, and is expected to be announced soon.
Earlier in the year, USA Archery conducted surveys to determine the feelings of the organization's membership on USAT selection procedures as well as the format of the National Target Championships and Easton JOAD Nationals. In both instances, feedback received did not indicate a clear majority in favor of change.

The USAA Board of Directors reviewed the survey data and individual comments submitted by members on both topics. Based on feedback received, as well as input from USA Archery staff and the Athlete Advisory Committee representatives, the Board agreed that USAT selection procedures should remain the same as they have in previous years, and that the National Target Championships and Easton JOAD Nationals will remain a combined event with the same basic format as 2012.
"We would like to thank all of our members who took the time to participate in the survey process," commented USA Archery CEO Denise Parker. "By giving feedback via these surveys, you gave USA Archery staff and the Board of Directors a better picture of the membership's wishes on these topics."
Please note that there is a slight change to the dates of the combined National Target Championships/Easton JOAD Nationals event, which is expected to allow for more efficient management of the event schedule. A tentative event schedule is expected in early 2013. The Texas Shootout, which also serves as the team trials for the World Games compound team, has solidified its dates as April 25-28.
