We are excited to start a new season of our Archery Team!

On Target’s Archery team will be focused on developing skills, preparing for tournaments, and enjoying the competitive side of archery.

Practices will begin the first week of November on Tuesday the 3rd and Thursday the 5th. This is for students who are 8 - 18 years of age who have their own compound bow (these should include sights and a rest and need to be capable of shooting 10-20 yards accurately).

To accommodate our growing team, we will be offering two practice nights each week, Tuesday and Thursday. Each participant will choose one night to attend regularly. We ask families to register for either Tuesday or Thursday so we can keep the groups balanced. However, we understand that schedules can change, so if you have a conflict on your regular practice night, you are welcome to attend the other practice night that week.

The format for our practices will be:

• 6:00-7:00 PM Form / Technique / Shooting

• 7:05-7:25 PM Break for Snack & Devotion

• 7:30 -8:00 PM. Game / Challenge / Mini-Tournament

Open Ranges practice times will be available on Wednesday nights from 6-8pm (only in October) and Saturday mornings from 10am-noon, if participants want to practice shooting more.

We will plan to participate in the National Field Archery Association, Ohio Archers Association and S3DA tournaments being held in January through April. For kids to earn medals/awards for the tournaments they must become a member of the NFAA and/or S3DA, however this is not required to be on the team and they can shoot as a guest instead if they don’t have the membership. Click here to look into the NFAA membership and click here for the S3DA membership.

Several of these are considered “mail in” tournaments so while we will be competing with kids from all over the state, we will host and shoot these tournaments at our range in Findlay. There will be a few tournaments that will require travel, but every tournament is optional based on your family’s schedule.

This program is for ages 8-18. The cost is $275 per participant and this will include a team jersey, unlimited number of targets to be used during practice, coaching, bow repairs and adjustments.

Practices will be held at our indoor archery range at 3246 US 224, McComb, OH, 45858.
