Total Archery Challenge 2025

I've done both VT and PA. Both are good times. Select an early nock time than after 1:30pm you can walk onto another course.

I've gone in the past with my fiance(now wife) and my buddy/his fam and we camp out for the weekend and would do 2 courses/day.

Just go into TAC to have fun and remember no one cares if you walk closer to a target to shoot - I've walked in closer on some targets, hell people bring their kids who walk up to 10 yards to shoot a target.

Doing PA this year. They canceled the first one I registered for b/c of COVID.

It’s a good time, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot another if I was already going to be in the area. Here’s a few tips:

1) dozen arrows is plenty, if a target is out of your comfortable range, most you can walk up to a more reasonable one after everyone shoots

2) try to get in a good group! My first morning shooting I somehow got in an influencer/youtuber group and it was rough. The rest of my shoots were a lot better. If you are solo when you get there for your knock time, you have a window. If you don’t get a good feeling from who you show up there with, just say you’re going to hang back and wait on a friend then join the next group

3) get an early nock time if you want to shoot multiple courses a day. I shot big sky last year and several courses were running 5/6 hrs.

4) pay attention. Everything is marked but some areas not so great. Multiple times people would just kind of show up down range or behind target, wouldn’t hurt to not wear camo

5) bring rain gear, water and snacks. Some courses are long, but nothing is too crazy. My 6 year old walked 2 courses with me so don’t be shied away from any.
