    SCHEDULING

    • Email tots@texasarchery.org with the dates you’d like to host and your capacity (archers wise) if you’d like to host, and any other questions you might have
    • Signup this year will be through Sport80
    • This means that all TOTS will be USAA Sanctioned. If you do not have a Judge for your event, let me know and we will find you one. The TSAA covers the cost of the Judge.
    • Please note the following TSAA/TFAA State tournament dates:
      • 6/29-6/30 TFAA State Field Championships 2024
      • 4/20-4/21 TSAA State Field Championships 2024
      •  (TBA Soon) TSAA State Target Championships

    RULES

    • The TOTS format is as follows: 3 rounds of 36 arrows shot at each divisions USAA Outdoor Nationals distance/target. For example, a Senior Male Olympic Recurve will shoot 70m at a 122cm face.
    • Here’s the tricky part: We only keep each archers HIGHEST TWO 36 arrow scores for that tournaments official score, and thus the championship standings.
      • So archers may leave after the second 36 arrow round, or remain for all 3 if they think they can shoot a better third round.
      • For example if Ryland shot a Round 1: 310. Round 2: 305. And Round 3: 315, his score for that TOTS would be 310+315 = 625, dropping the lowest score, the 305.
    • The cost of registration is $35. $5 will go to the TSAA, payable immediately after your TOTS to the TSAA Treasurer.
    • Used Targets are allowed

    HISTORY

    Began in 2013 under the leadership of 2004 Olympian John Magera and Tom Barker, quickly growing into the largest outdoor target series in the state of Texas. It then passed to Shawn Harrigan for many years successfully.

  • TSAA Indoor Championships Wrap Up

    Thanks to everyone for attending this event!

    Several records were broken, most notably in the U18 recurve male division. Ethan Chan shot a 579 on Saturday, breaking the previous record of 576 held by Andrew Mantle and G.Braendle. Only to have that score shattered by Caelan Shanklin with a 582. I have a few more records to announce as well. Harley Kenney shot a 285 for a new 30 arrow record! Belinda Hale Longbow, Female, 50+, 228 for 30 arrows, 440 for 60 arrows.

    We also have to talk about a little bit of confusion on the Sunday morning line in Ft Grard. We erroneously posted on the first day of registration, that U13/U15 would be allowed to shoot 60 CM faces. That was wrong and we corrected it, but not before some had already registered. We failed to check that there were already shooters in that category and they shot on 60 CM faces. We moved them to a separate division so as to not compare them to 40 CM shooters.

    Please remember, the Director of Shooting, Tournament Director or Head Judge holds precedent on the playing field. They have the final say on what target can be shot or how the tournament is being run. Please defer to their knowledge of the event and follow their instructions.

    We are so glad that everyone had a fun time and records were broken.

    All new records have been updated, if I missed anyone, email records@texasarchery.org
