We offer a tiered pricing structure to accommodate your schedule:

• Single Day Entry ($45): Choose to shoot either the Saturday or Sunday 72-arrow session.

• Full Weekend Entry ($60): Includes access to both Saturday and Sunday 72-arrow sessions.

Why shoot both days?

For archers choosing the Full Weekend Entry, we will take your highest score from either Saturday or Sunday for the final rankings. This is a great opportunity to shake off the nerves on day one and push for a personal best on day two without the pressure of a combined score.
