SHOOTING CONSIDERATIONS/RULES 

This event will be a World Archery Sanctioned event and follow World Archery rules for equipment, shooting process, and scoring. Equipment must meet World Archery rules, with arrows having a diameter of 9.3 mm or less. We will follow USA Archery dress code. 

We will shoot two rounds of 30 arrows per day. This is a two-day tournament. We will be following USA Archery’s ruling on timing for the tournament.

We will be using electronic scoring on the archer's cell phone.  Archers will be assigned a target, and will be grouped with others for group scoring. Only one archer per group of 4 will be using the scoring app. Paper scoring will also be used. Archers should be familiar with tournament scoring. No sky-drawing. There will not be a coaching area. Non-archers (including coaches and parents) are not allowed down-range without specific permission from the Tournament Director.

OVERVIEW

The West Michigan Archery Center (WMAC) is an archery education and practice center, focused on introducing people to the sport of archery, and on developing fundamental and advanced archery skills for archers in West Michigan and beyond. The event will take place at the West Michigan Archery Center in Rockford, Michigan. Archers will register and select a single time to shoot. Archers will shoot a total of 60 scoring arrows (three-arrow ends using USA Archery-defined faces by category-see category above for details). The event is registered as a Star FITA event with USA Archery, so participants are required to be USA Archery members or have a USA Archery Temporary membership. 

There will be concessions available during the 2024 event.
