About This Program

What to expect when you show up

[Archery](/handbook/archery) Night is a competitive shoot at Archery Range on October 29th at 6 PM, where you'll test your accuracy against other archers using compound, recurve, or longbow depending on your division. This is a chance to see where your skills stand and pick up some shooting efficiency from people running serious setups. The format runs archers through accuracy-focused rounds that separate competitors by equipment type. It's a straightforward competition—show up, shoot your distances, and your score tells the story. Compound shooters, traditional archers, and recurve competitors all have their own lanes, so you're competing fairly within your discipline.
