both of which must be shot. Either course may be shot on each day, but the

The first annual Southeastern Archery Wingshooting Tournament will be
held in conjunction with the Traditional Championship. Sanctioned by the
United States Association of Wingshooting Archers (USAWA), this is a Class
I, Impact Only (I/O) open wingshooting competition. Flu flu arrows will be
provided and trophies will be awarded to the top competitors.
Archers will have the option to wingshoot for fun or compete for the
championship. The fee for each round shot is $5.00. A one time fee of $10.00
will be paid to USAWA by an archer in order to shoot in the championship
competition.
A wingshooting round for competition will consist of 20 targets, 4 warmup
and 16 for score. Anyone shooting competition may shoot an unlimited number
of rounds with the highest scoring round entered in the championship
scoring.
In addition to this tournament, wingshooting instruction and practice rounds
will be offered for archers wanting to experience this exciting sport.
Jackpot wingshooting rounds are also planned and wingshooting for the
younger shooters will be available throughout the weekend. For more
