posted Oct 26, 2019, 8:14 PM by Kristy Wapniarski

The 2019 Arizona State Outdoor Championships was held at the Ben Avery FITA Range this past weekend (October 19-20, 2019). There were 160+ competitors across the 33 divisions participating. This year was the first year that all of the Master divisions were combined so there were all new state records set in those divisions as the previous records have been archived.

In addition to the 12 new Master records set, there were 9 additional state records that were set among the other divisions. Congratulations to all of the archers that competed this year and met their personal goals, earned pins, made it to the podium, set records, but especially had fun!

We appreciate all of the efforts of the Desert Sky Archers club for putting on such a fantastic event. Thank you to all of the volunteers, staff, coaches, athletes and spectators for coming out and making this event so successful. We look forward to seeing you next year on October 24-25, 2020.

Thank you to Lawrence Brady & Desert Destroyers for hosting such a fun event this past weekend at the Oro Valley Naranja Archery Range. This inaugural two day event consisted of 24 unmarked distance targets shot on day one and another 24 marked distance targets on day two. Many of the competitors were experiencing field archery for the first time and walked away with a new appreciation for the sport. 

We want to acknowledge both Terry and Diana LaBeau for all of their hard work and time that they dedicated to the set up and execution of this tournament. This shoot would not have happened if it was not for their willingness to share their expertise with the community. THANK YOU for all that you do for the Arizona archery community.
