Ttt? I just would like to know the classes and shooting equipment ?!?

I googled it and can not find anything.

It is an USA Archery field shoot. It is on the Texas A&M archery website and has a link to USA Archery for divisions and rules.

Here is some information that I saw or know from previous shoots.

125 bucks for registration
Compound or recurve. If I recall it is only "open", so if you are shooting a hunter setup you are at a disadvantage(maybe).

If it is like the others.. You shoot a qualifier round, then can move to the elimination "match" rounds. And don't forget the dress code.

I can get a 10$ temp registration for just this shoot and do you know the classes? Ie adult, women's, senior, youth? And what the yardage is?

USA archery has all the information you are looking for. https://webpoint.usarchery.org/wp15/...p?EventID=1959

Here are your answers incase you cant find them.
Temp membership should work- you will want to double check
Classes are senior(over 18), junior and cadet
Division- either compound or recurve- I think open or freestyle, although you can use hunter set ups
Compound is at 50m, recurve is at 70m

I would recommend emailing the A&M folks if you are not familar with this style of shooting. When I shot indoor nationals, they had shaft diameter max and poundage limits.

Bowtechshooter - there's several questions before your post. Shaft size, format, dress code, etc.

[Bowtechshooter]

Shaft size regulation in 23/64 of an inch or smaller (I would reccomend smaller for wind). Official Practice the day before then a 72 arrow qualifier followed by elimination there is also a team match but that is just for fun and you have to sign up before. Dress code is No denim and you must wear closed toed shoes and you cant wear camo.
Divisions are cadet (16 and under) Junior ( 17 through 21) and Senior which is everyone else. The junior and senior will get combined for the eliminations. The eliminations is 5 ends of 3 arrows per match. There is a male and female division and compound and recurve. All compound shoots 50 meters or 55 yards. Recurve juniors and seniors shoot 70 meters or 77ish yards but the cadets shoot 60 meters or 66ish yards.

[Dusty Britches]

Why do the recurve shooters shoot longer distances than the compound shooters? It seems to me, the compound shooters should shoot the same distances or greater.

[Bowtechshooter]

That question is heavily discussed. But in the Olympics recurves shoot 70 meters and they olympic committee wont allow compounds to enter yet because they think that recurve and compound archery is to similar. Everyone from state level archery to World Archery organizations is doing this set up to try to differentiate compounds and recurves enough to enter them both in the olympics. I asked an olympic archery why recurves shoot farther than compounds and his answer to me was, they want recurve archery to be about strong shots and repetition and compound archery to be about strong shots and high scores.
