Recurve Cadet Archers Wishing to Register for Olympic Trials
USA Archery has lifted the restriction that allows archers to register only in a single age class, for recurve cadet archers at this event only.
Recurve Cadets who want to compete as Cadets for the Texas Shootout, and also want to shoot the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, will need to register for the Texas Shootout as Cadets and then ALSO register for the Texas Shootout and U.S. Olympic Team Trials as a Junior/Senior.
This means two separate registrations and three fees. This also means these archers will compete twice for the Texas Shootout: once as a Cadet at 60 meters (a single 72 arrow qualification round plus eliminations), and again as a Junior/Senior at 70 meters (two 72 arrow qualification rounds only).
These archers will shoot TWO Qualification rounds, and their participation in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials will be determined by their Junior/Senior qualification round scores as combined with Senior recurve archers.
Please follow both of these steps if you are a Recurve Cadet archer wishing to register for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials:
1. Register for the Texas Shootout as a Cadet recurve archer. Please DO NOT add the U.S. Olympic Team Trials Fee.
2. Then, call National Events Manager Sheri Rhodes at 719.866.3450 to add the Recurve Junior/Senior registration for Texas Shootout, and the U.S. Olympic Team Trials registration.
If you are a Recurve Cadet archer and have already registered as a Junior/Senior archer for Trials, but wish to also compete at the Texas Shootout as a Cadet, please call Sheri Rhodes at the number above.
