2002 IFAA North American Field Archery Championships


Archers need to be at the range ready to shoot at 7:30am due to winter daylight problems.  We will talk at 7:30am and start shooting at 8:00am.  We will be shooting 4 across on every target.

right hand markers shall be shot at the right hand face.

50cm faces (35 yds thru 53 yds)

FOOD:
The lunch on Saturday will be pass by lunch.  You can buy a meal ticket at the begining of the shoot and there will be 3 locations on the course that you can eat.  The food will be exotic and you can take it with you and eat  as you shoot.  You can eat at one or all of them.
