The Texas 4-H Indoor Archery Match is held in four separate locations to accommodate 4-H archers across the state. Archers may shoot at any location but must choose only one and will compete for placings among all archers in all locations. Scores from all 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 number of archers (Bay City: 90 per flight; Graham: 80 per flight; Fort Stockton: 60 per flight; Madisonville: 40 per flight). 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.

Flights: All flights are approximately 3 hours in length. Arrive promptly at check-in time prior to the appropriate flight to go through equipment check, mandatory orientation, and optional warm-up.

2015-2016 Texas 4-H Shooting Sports Postal Leagues

What are Postal Leagues? Originally named “Postal Leagues” because the targets were mailed in for scoring via the U.S. Postal Service, Postal Leagues are a state-wide competitive shooting match in which participants can compete with others across the state without having to travel outside their home county. Participants complete their course of fire locally over an extended designated time frame. Thus, allowing for greater flexibility of schedules and eliminating the cost of travel to an event. Following the close of the matches, scores are submitted electronically to the State Office. Events include: 3-P Smallbore Rifle, Air Pistol, Archery, BB Gun, Light Rifle, Precision Air Rifle, Sporter Air Rifle, Smallbore Pistol, Muzzleloading Rifle, Muzzleloading Pistol, Trap, and Skeet. Participants may compete in as many events as their county/club will allow. All shooting must be supervised by a 4-H Shooting Sports Coach certified in the appropriate shooting discipline (Archery, Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun, Muzzleloading).

Match Dates: October 1, 2015-March 31, 2016
