The Texas 4-H Indoor Archery Match is held in two separate locations to accommodate 4-H archers across the state. Archers may shoot at either location but must choose only one and will compete for placings among all archers in both locations. Scores from both locations will be combined upon the completion of the last match to determine overall results. Archers may choose from the flight times offered at each location and will indicate their choice on their registration. Each flight will allow a maximum of 100 archers. The registration will control that limit on a first-come, first-served-basis with each flight becoming unavailable once the flight is full. There will be no on-site registration or payment of any kind allowed at the events. Flights may not be added on-site, however withdrawals will be accepted.
