Winter Warm Up

Striving for that gold medal, top three finish, or personal best is what tournament play is all about, and we cannot wait to see you at the range with us. The Lancaster Archery Academy is holding our ninth Annual Winter Warm Up Star FITA tournament on December 9, 10, 11. You can register online above by clicking the red 'Reserve' button. All shooters will be required to have a current USA Archery Membership. WA/USA Archery Rules and Dress Code will be in effect.

This event will count towards World Archery's Indoor Series ranking.

Once all qualification rounds are complete, we will combine age classes and genders into three larger divisions: Recurve, Compound, and Barebow. The top 8 finishers in each of these combined divisions based on qualification score will be eligible to shoot head-to-head elimination matches for prize money. Archers may sign up for whichever qualifier line they would like, and should they make it to the Top 8 in a combined division, be able to return Sunday, December 11 at 2:00PM for elimination matchplay. All archers will shoot qualifiers and eliminations at 18M with the exception of Yeoman, who will shoot at 9M. Recurve and Barebow matches will follow the Set System. Compound matches will be based on total score.

The tournament will be held on the Academy main range, which is located below the Lancaster Archery Supply Pro Shop, 2195-A Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, PA 17602.
