The upcoming 4-H Archery Tournament is undergoing a surge of interest! What great news.

Thanks to all your efforts, we have had an overwhelming response for this year’s Indoor Archery Tournament. At the close of registration, we had over 330 registered to shoot on a range that could only accommodate 240. What a great problem to have. For the 296 youth that registered, we are making arrangements to accommodate all that want to participate.

Wow. That’s great news. The 4-H team is working hard on making the most of the range to fit each archer in. This includes splitting the tournament into 5 flights! Last year, there were only three flights. This is great news for the sport of archery!

Now for the bad news … for me at least.

Due to interest by youth, we will not be able to allow adults to participate in this year’s event. Although I know many of your were looking forward to standing on the line with your 4-H’ers, I am sure that each of you will agree that our number one goal is to have our 4-H’ers at the line that day.

I know that our team was going to be sending around 5 coaches to shoot in the Coaches Tournament. Ah well, perhaps next year. I am very happy that this tournament is such a success.
