A Message After The Spring Championship

Hello Everyone!
A big thank you to everyone who came out to the 2025 State Championship! We had a great turnout, and the weather couldn’t have been better. It was wonderful to see familiar faces and welcome so many new folks to the event. This was the first year we introduced an additional class option, and aside from a couple of minor glitches, we consider it a success!

One issue that was brought to our attention involves targets with a back scoring ring. On these targets, only the front rings count. We understand that new archers may not be aware of this, so moving forward, we will post signs on the ranges to clarify. Additionally, an arrow landing between the target body and the insert is not always an 10—please double-check the 10-ring when scoring. We added some pictures to the site.

We strive to provide convenient water stations throughout our ranges, but leaving empty water bottles behind is not acceptable. Trash cans are available—please use them. Our volunteers and staff work hard to maintain the grounds, and your help in keeping them clean is greatly appreciated.

Mark your calendars for our Fall Rendezvous, happening the weekend of October 24th! We’re looking forward to cooler weather this year and hope to see even more participants and volunteers join us.

Speaking of volunteers--thank you! We truly couldn’t do this without you. Many new faces stepped up to help, and we are incredibly grateful. Running an event like this requires more than just setting up ranges. If you have time and would like to contribute, please click here to fill out the volunteer form and let us know how you’d like to help.

Many of you enjoyed shopping with the vendors at our events. This year we have updated the website with contact information so you can shop with them year round! Click here to check it out. If you want to be a vendor for the Fall Rendezvous we have made some organizational changes so please click here to fill out the online form to make it easier for us to support you too. 

We have updated the Archery Club page. If your club isn't on the list please fill out the form and share your information so we can add it. 

Lastly, we sincerely apologize for the food truck issue. Securing food trucks for events our size has become increasingly difficult. Unfortunately, the vendor we had lined up failed to show and kept stringing us along. We understand the frustration and will do our best to ensure better arrangements in the future. If you have any food truck solutions please reach out to me. 

On behalf of myself and the staff, thank you for being a part of TBOF!
We look forward to seeing you in the fall!
