Archery
Thanks to everyone who competed in the Winter Games this year. Be sure to mark your calendars for the Summer Games in June!
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 day and time to shoot. Archers will shoot a total of 60 scoring arrows (three-arrow ends using JOAD target sizes for youth archers, and FITA targets for archers in the senior category or older). The event is not registered as a Star FITA event with USA Archery, so participants are not required to be USA Archery members. Aside from safety-related considerations, there is no specific dress code. See below for specific rules.
Snacks and lunch items will be available for purchase at the event.
