What is TAIL?

The Tournament League has been held the last Sunday of every month Jan – Nov, since 2011 by Texas Archery Academy.

Consists of  30 arrows (10 ends of 3 arrows), World Archery/USA Archery, Indoor event under tournament conditions. Event takes about 2 1/2 hours (1pm registration, 2pm start). Each TAIL offers USAA Star Pin awards based on your individual score and top score/performance recognition, these are awarded directly to participants by TXAA after each event.

This League has multiple purposes:

1. To build recognition of the indoor shooting format considered the “Sport” of Archery by World Archery/USAA – therefore building financial sponsorship for future scholarships and earnings in Archery.
2. The events provide consistent tournament experience – an application of a participant’s practice and a talent funnel.
3. The events are an opportunity for Instructors/Coaches to test their students/teams.
4. Individuals test their progress under tournament pressure for performance awards (USAA Star Achievement Pins). Similar to a “belt test” benefit in other martial arts. Also there are awards for those to continue participation with prize money each event and SOY league recognition, etc.
5. The events provide a next level of competition segue and awards opportunity for the NASP audience.
6. An opportunity for JOAD/AAA clubs to compete regularly and network, includes a TEAM award recognition.
7. Establish Shooter of the Year recognition.
