5/10/2013: TOTS EVENT IS SET FOR COLUMBUS: JOAD Leader,


I'm pleased to inform you that we will host the second Texas Outdoor Target Series, or "TOTS" event on May 18, here in Columbus, Texas.

Virtually everthing will remain the same from the first shoot, except we will be starting an hour later to give folks more time to drive in.  Since we finished so early last time, I figured why make folks get up any earlier than they have to on a Saturday morning, right?

So we'll start practice at 9:00 a.m. and scoring at 10:00 a.m. this time.

The only other change is that I'm going to try to put all the compound archers on bales together if possible, and have them all shoot the 6-ring 80cm face at their middle distance, and the vertical 3-spot 60cm face at their shortest distance, to keep with the direction that World Archery is going with outdoor compound target competition.  A lot of our archers did this anyway at the last shoot, so it would only be a change for perhaps some of the bowmen or cubs.

We can host up to 36 archers again.

I look forward to seeing your archers once again at the Colorado County fairgrounds.

Folks can call 979-733-8838 or email me at johnmagera@msn.com to register.
5/7/2013: RESULTS from the record-breaking State Field Championship have been calculated and posted. There were at least TWENTY-SEVEN new records set by the 80+ archers.
5/6/2013: The second TOTS event is on.  The 18th date is a go. From Director John Magera of T.H.E. JOAD:

Same as last time.  Concessions will be available again.  Same format, except that I'm going to have all the compound archers shoot a 6-ring 80cm face at their middle distance, and a vertical 3-spot 60 at their closest distance.  I think this is consistent with what WA is trying to do for compound archery, and it will free up space on the bales and save on arrows too.  

Max. of 36 archers for Saturday.  However, I may open up a Sunday line if we get over 30 registrations.
Practice will begin at 9:00 a.m. and scoring at 10:00.  


Folks can call 979-733-8838 or email me at johnmagera@msn.com to register.

Fee is still $20 per archer, with $5 of that going back to TSAA for awards at the end of the season (at State Outdoor).

Feel free to call or email with questions.  John Magera

4/24/2013: The first TOTS event is done, and by all accounts a great time was had by those that came to shoot arrows in Columbus. Thanks to John Magera for pioneering what will be an excellent learning opportunity for young Texans.

Thursday, Apr. 25, 2013 (12:00 PM) - Sunday, Apr. 28, 2013 (5:00 PM) at Texas A & M University on the Penberthy Rec Sports Complex, Intramural Fields in College Station, TX 77843 .

4/12/2013: I frequently go to a bulletin board regarding archery, in England. I enjoy the enhanced vocabulary, the diversity of opinions, the gentlemanly give-and-take the British have, and their obvious dedication to learning more about something their culture has pioneered for centuries. Their webmaster posted a globe that I hadda steal, so here it is:
4/10/2013: Three excellent archery instructors in the Houston area are holding a level I instructor course - They are very active in scouting, butI do not think you do have to be a scout to take advantage of this great opportunity. Click here for the flier and information.
4/7/2013: Archery Family Decal - T.H.E. JOAD is raising funds for the nationals - this is a decal for automobiles, bowcases, etc... Click to see a picture of the decal, then contact Tammy Hilley to order one (only $12).
4/4/2013: TOTS. The TSAA has defined a new round of archery for the benefit of our archers for the 2013 outdoor season. We've decided to call it TOTS ( Texas Outdoor Target Series). Click on this link to learn about it. We have tentative dates & times for this innovative and friendly one-day, three-distance, outdoor tournament. We are looking for a few Texans to host events in May and July, the more the better....
Columbus April 20, 
Victoria on June 29, 
Bryan in August?

Need dates for May and July at least.

If we host the JOAD state outdoor in late July (July 27-28) we can offer day 1 of that event as a another qualifying 1080 round as well, so that would be six total before September.

The idea then would be for the first day of TSAA state outdoor to serve as the final event in the outdoor target series, with awards given at the end of day 1 for that series, similar to what TFAA does at their state indoor in Waco every year to wrap up their SYWAT series.

3/26/2013: Due to conflicts with a World Cup event, the dates for the USA Archery National Field event have changed to one day earlier: June 6, 7, & 8 (Thurs/Fri/Sat).
June 6 Thursday Official Practice
June 7 Friday Practice followed by 24 unmarked targets
June 8 Saturday Practice followed by 24 marked targets
