Have you ever wondered how you would do in a tournament? A little concerned about participating in a tournament? Feel a little rusty? We have the perfect answer! Try a Indoor Warm-up tournament! This is a casual, short tournament held at Ace Archers, Inc. from September through February, usually the 4th Sunday of the month, unless a major holiday or event gets in the way.
The Indoor Warm-up Tournaments happen on 10/16/2011, 11/27/2011, 12/18/2011, 1/22/2012 and 2/19/2012. There are two lines, or shooting times, at 10:00 am and again at 1:00 PM. There are fifteen ends of three arrows each for a total of 45 arrows. The tournament is run like a Star FITA; but shorter, 15 ends instead of 20, and not quite so intense. We play music between the ends. There is no Dress Code. We follow the FITA Constitution and Rules, but not strictly, especially in regards to arrows. We do award medals at the end of the tournament; but we follow the 1-3-5 Rule. So come on in a try a Indoor Warm-up Tournament!
