Overview
We are excited to have you compete with us! Please read the following details carefully so that you are fully prepared for our event! Thank you!
Striving for that gold medal, top three finish, or personal best is what tournament play is all about, and we cannot wait to see you on the field with us. The Lancaster Archery Academy is holding our Tenth Annual Summer Solstice Star FITA tournament on Saturday, June 14. You can register online above by clicking the red 'Reserve' button. All archers will be required to have a current USA Archery Membership. WA/USA Archery Rules and Dress Code will be in effect.
The Summer Solstice will consist solely of qualifier rounds. Elimination rounds will only be held during our Summer Sizzle tournament (July 12-13). Your qualifier time for the Summer Solstice will be determined by your division. Compound and Fixed Pin archers will shoot at 8:00AM. Recurve and Barebow archers will shoot at 1:00PM.
If there is inclement weather that results in either the delay or cancellation of one or both qualifier lines, these lines may be rescheduled to Sunday, June 15. Academy staff will be in contact with event participants should this occur.
The tournament will be held at the Lancaster Archery Academy's Archery Park, which is located off the rear parking lot of the Lancaster Archery Supply Pro Shop, 2195-A Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, PA 17602.
