Event Summary:

On the weekends of Feb. 7th-8th & Feb. 14th-15th, the ITAA held its Indoor State Championships. These were hosted by Town Hall Archery in Belleville for the southern region and Kishwaukee Archers in Sycamore for the northern region. Our state championship format is an 18m 600 round and a 25m 600 round.
Like many places across the country, Illinois is seeing the rapid growth of archery. A few years ago, our event hosted 12 shooters. Between both sites and both events we had 150 participants this year shooting 229 scores. Participants ranged in age from 8 to 78 years old.
Clearly the most outstanding individual performance of the event was put in by John Demmer III. John’s barebow shooting was nothing short of amazing as he shot a 565 18m and 568 25m for an Aggregate of 1133. Every time John picked up a bow this weekend, he broke national records.
Not to be outdone were Kate Iodice, Gabe Querol, and Nathan Zimmerman, who also put in such great performances that we are submitting up to nine of this weekend’s scores for recognition as national records.
Thank you for participating in this year’s winter championship events, and congratulations to our new champions on your great performances!

The ITAA is proud to hold this 2015 Indoor State Championship.  This is one of the best chances to compete against shooters all across the whole state.  Choose a venue and a date and show your stuff!

The format for the indoor event is an 18m 600 round and a 25m 600 round.

This is 60 arrows at a standard 4-color World Archery target (40cm for the 18m round, 60cm for the 25m round).  Shooters can choose to shoot either or both of these.  Awards are given for each event separately and for a combined aggregate champion in each category.
