Several portable toilets will be available on site, there is no running water. This location is fully handicapped accessible.
 

Inclement Weather: Archery generally takes place rain or shine. With a two day event, there is no rain date planned as we expect to be able to get some amount of shooting in during the two days. If severe weather happens any time after the scoring has already begun, the shooting may be delayed and/or ended early depending on the judges’ and officials’ safety determinations.
