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-see category above for details). The event is registered as a Star FITA event with USA Archery, so participants are required to be USA Archery members or have a USA Archery or NFAA Archery Temporary membership.

There will be concessions available during the 2022 event.
