TOTAL ARCHERY CHALLENGE - Beavers Bend OK Event Reviews

Challenging, but AMAZING!!!

First of all, this is them first time I have ever attended an event such as this. Most of my experience with 3D archery is with local competitions and ASA events. My father and I signed up for TAC not knowing what to expect, but I assure you that it lived up to the name, "Total Archery Challenge"! We shot the Sitka Course (day 1), the Leupold Course (day 2), and the Nock On Course (day 3). Throughout TAC, we were met with friendly faces, and witness and experienced archers helping archers. The Sitka Course was on an island, in the middle of Beaver's Bend Lake, OK. Six miles of uphill climbs, downhill descents, and long-range targets were on this course. We, my 72-year-old father, friends, and I, managed the course well and the course gave us a "warm up" for the next two courses. The next day, our same group participated in the Leupold Course. This course posed its own challenges, but was easier to negotiate than the Sitka Course. The targets ranged from 20-60 yards and offered a family-friendly vibe. The Nock On Course, on day 3, lived up to its name! Long range targets, shooting uphill and downhill, between trees, and low-level target spots gave this course a unique identity. The course was everything I would expect Mr. John Dudley, himself, to design! It was super entertaining and there were several pleasant surprises along the way. My takeaways from this event were (1) archery is even more fun when combined with challenges, (2) it is better with family and (new and old) friends, and (3) I will be attending another TAC! With most of my archery experience being executed in my back yard, TAC gave me the motivation to come back and practice harder! My father and I met several new friends at the event. Realizing that hundreds of archers can gather, have fun, and meet one another is an amazing reason to come back to TAC!!!
