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).
