4-H Updates their archery competition rules

I just received notification from the Georgia 4-H S.A.F.E. Coordinator, Mark Zeigler that some slight adjustments had been made to the S.A.F.E. competition. Most of the adjustments to the rules were minor and are shown in the Green font.

The interesting changes appear to be in conjunction with what is meant by a “Team”. I have heard some discussion on the Georgia 4-H rules in regards to team archery and I don’t believe that these changes will satisfy those people.

Members of the State Winning (First Place) Team are ineligible to compete as team members in future years. This applies whether or not they compete in a national 4-H SAFE event. Team members may compete as individuals in contests and may be recognized as State Winners as High Individuals.

State Winning High Individuals who are not members of the State Winning (First place) Team are permitted to compete in future years as either individuals or as team members.

On one hand, I understand that the rules appear to be preventative to keep one team from dominating year after year, however the other teams see this as punitive to the kids who have worked really hard to get to the level of archer that they are. I can see that this rule was created in the spirit of 4-H which is not exclusively in sport development, but in character development. However, I’m curious if this rule is in line with the rules of other states 4-H programs? I can see both sides of this argument.

Halloween Tournament Photos

We had a great time. The weather was perfect and the kids had a great time! They took turns shooting at classic “Scooby Doo Villian” targets. We only wish we had more time for more rounds. Congratulations to all of our participants of the fun tournament!

Archery Halloween Mini Tournament – Saturday, Oct 25th

Hello Friends of the Forsyth County Archery Club!

Just a reminder that we will be holding a Halloween Mini Tournament this weekend. We’ll be having targets at 30, 20, and 10 meter distances to match varying age levels and skill levels. There will be a couple of standard target faces, but we’ve got something special planned for the other target faces as well. Yes, it’ll be (almost) standard scoring for the tournament. There will be 9 ends of 3 arrows per end, or 27 arrows in total.

In addition to the mini-tournament, we’ll also have a pumpkin shoot. We’ll be providing fiberglass arrows for the shoot so you’re not gunking up your nice arrows. We’ll be providing the recurve bows for this shoot. The fiberglass arrows won’t be able to handle any high power bows.

Come on out for a great time this Saturday, October 25th. Setup starts at 2:30pm and we will have a short warm up session, and then the tournament will start at approximately 3:15pm.

We hope to see you there!
-Coach Kevin

Club competes in Moonlight Madness 900 Target Tournament

The Forsyth County Archery Club competed in the Moonlight Madness 900 Archery Tournament this past Saturday, hosted by the Gainesville Archery Club. It was a great tournament, with a good amount of participation by our archers. Many were returning, others shooting for their first time. I must say that I was proud of each of our archers and I hope they are proud of themselves as well.
