Hello Archers,

Are you guys ready for September? No, not because it MIGHT not be 100+ degrees everyday but because Central Texas Archery will be OPEN for business!!!!!! We are so excited and are crazy busy making sure we are ready to have you all come out and shoot with us!

JOAD Nationals

JOAD Nationals was held in Raleigh, NC July 10-15. We had such a fabulous time! First thing is a HUGE CONGRATS to Quinn H. for her gold medal in the team round. Way to go!!!!! Our other archers had some great rounds, learned new lessons, and got to spend time rubbing elbows with the best youth archers in the country. We also enjoyed getting the Austin kids together for down time “R & R” too. More photos on our Facebook page.
