Sunday, February 12 – Monthly 3D Shoot
- On Sunday, February 12th we will host a Monthly 3D Shoot, this month held on a Sunday. Last year we tested alternating these shoots between Saturdays and Sundays, and based on positive feedback we will continue this for the 2023 season. The Season Long Shootout will again total a shooter’s top 4 scores, so we made sure to schedule 5 Saturdays and 4 Sundays during the 9-month season to give everyone a fair chance to complete.
- Similar to last season, this will be an 8:30 am shotgun start. Click HERE for general info and rules regarding our 3D shoots.
- Click HERE to register for the shoot.
- NOTE – For safety reasons both the Bowhunter 3D and Field Archery Courses will be closed during the shoot. Members will still have access to both the Upper and Lower Static Ranges throughout the entire day. Visitors are welcome to visit with Club volunteers at the Clubhouse during all Monthly 3D Shoots, for Q&A and tours of the facility.
- Rangefinder Update – Users of rangefinders are now eligible to compete for prizes. See the updated Monthly 3D Shoot Details for specifics.
February 25 & 26 – Texas ASA Qualifier
- Our 2022 Qualifier was also held in February to avoid summer heat, and being a successful event we requested earlier dates again this year.
- There are NO crossbow classes at this location, because City of Austin Parks & Recreation does not allow crossbow use.
- Both Saturday & Sunday the tournament will begin at 10:00 am with a Shotgun Start. Traditional shooters have the option to start at 8:00 am if they choose.
- Additional information (including Texas ASA links) is available on the Registration Page.
April 2 – The Phoenix (Private Event)
- On Sunday, April 2nd the Lower Static Range will be closed from 11am – 1pm for a private event.
