Team partners can belong to different age divisions and gender classes, as handicaps will level the playing field.

HOW DO HANDICAPS WORK?

A handicap replaces the value of the arrow that has been shot with a score of 12.
The handicap must be used when scoring and recorded on the team scorecard before advancing to the next target.
Handicaps can only be used for the team scores, not the individual's score. Separate scorecards will be provided for team scores.
Handicap allowances apply to each archer.

Planning to shoot with friends?

Submit your target group name prior to registering: it only takes a few seconds!

This will allow you to select your group when you register for the tournament and be placed on the same starting target. Group size is limited to 10 people.

Only ONE person per group needs to submit a group name. Team Open and Team Collegiate participants will be grouped separately.
