Abilene has a long history of hosting major archery events. The terrain at Abilene can produce some very challenging shots. There are many ravines, ditches and small mountains to shoot thru, across and over. The cedars and oaks create a lot of shadows to make it really interesting. You don't want to miss this one !!!!

We Are the Next Best Thing to a Pro/Am.

10 Reasons to Come out and shoot the Abilene ASA Qualifier.

1. Abilene has one of the most beautiful properties in Texas....no...the nation

to host a 3D event.

2. You will get to shoot some up and downhill shots like you won't find anywhere else in Texas.

3. You can eat dinner at the Perini Ranch Steak House.

4. It only a 3 hour drive from DFW area.

5. Your Turn.........

I'm really proud of her.

She hadn't shot or practiced hardly any since Eastland Qualifier, which had me worried alittle

. But she has gotten 2- 2nd place finishes in a row.
