(2025 Update)
Tournament Guidelines
- If you are currently experiencing or have experienced any symptoms of communicable illness within the past 72 hours, then you SHOULD NOT participate in the tournament.
- All participants and guests are welcome to practice How to Protect Yourself and Others, published by the CDC and referenced by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Note – For private sanctioned events (i.e. – group youth lessons), if the organizers require adherence to the CDC and/or TX DSHS practices (masks, social distancing, etc.), AAC instructors and assisting volunteers will follow those practices upon request.
- AAC will have club officials on the course and at the static ranges at all times to ensure Safety and observance of Club and Tournament Rules. If a club official notes potential violations, they will warn the group and may ask the group to leave if there are repeated issues.
- AAC will continue to offer and strongly recommends online registration/payment by participants. The overall event experience improved dramatically when day-of table registrations were eliminated in 2020 during the peak of COVID.
- Participants are welcome to bring their own snacks and drinks. Bottled water will be available at the clubhouse and along the course, but no refilling water stations will be placed along the course. AAC has also reintroduced limited availability of snacks, welcoming donations to keep this benefit active.
- The entrance/exit gates will open at 7AM, providing access to the Static Ranges. Participants should arrive at least 30-minutes before the published start time, to reduce congregating of last-minute groups in the registration area.
- AAC will provide hand-sanitizer at each porta-can on the range as well as at the clubhouse, gazebo and at each picnic table.
- There will be a maximum of 4 participants per group on the course. Starting target numbers for each group will be assigned prior to the published start time. Note – Spectators are welcome to join the participants, but must not slow their progress nor be disruptive to others.
- Because the Tournament Course runs through parts of both the Field Archery Course and Bowhunter 3D Course, both of those courses will remain closed until all tournament participants have exited the Tournament Course.
