The Outdoor Shoot Your Way Across Texas – or SYWAT – is a Field archery tournament series held at various locations around the state.
A Field archery round consists of shooting 4 arrows at 28 targets for a total of 112 arrows. The maximum score is 560 points.
The TFAA field round consists of 14 Field target faces and 14 Hunter target faces. Field target faces are black and white with a black center; Hunter target faces are all black with thin white rings and a white center. Target face size varies depending on the distance of each target. Scoring rings on the target face are X (5 points), 5, 4 and 3.
There are signs at each target that indicate distance and shooting position for each age class. Shooting positions may include all four arrows from one position, a series of four walk-up positions, or a fan layout of four positions.
Each shoot at each shop/club on a given weekend is its own tournament. Line times vary, and are frequently shotgun start, so be sure to check the host location’s web site to confirm. Archers can shoot in one or more lines at the same location on the same weekend; only the highest score for that tournament will count.
Archers’ three highest scores from tournaments through the season are posted on the TFAA web site. The shooter from each Division/Style with the top score from their three SYWAT shoots plus their Day 1 State championship score wins a Shooter of the Year award.
Even if you are not planning to shoot in the Championship, come on out and shoot with us. Lots of fun and a great way to make new friends and test your skills.
