Williamsburg, KY – Rising Phoenix Archery in Troy, Michigan held the first Indoor regional of the competition season for Michigan S3DA. On the morning of the archery shoot, the fierce Michigan winter weather reared its head as the area received snow and chilly conditions. Still, archers from five different teams across the state braved the weather and made it to the indoor range to compete.

Michigan S3DA State Coordinator, Cara Waite stated, “It was exciting to get the Michigan S3DA season started again. We were able to reconnect with friends and family from across the state. We had many new archers participate in this tournament. It was great to watch the older archer’s mentor the younger archers. I think everyone had a very enjoyable tournament. For this to be our very first Indoor tournament this early in the year, it was a great success.”

“S3DA offers classes that provide progression for children to grow from the time they start shooting a bow all the way to high school. This program provides archers the opportunity to earn archery scholarships from colleges and universities and continue shooting at the collegiate level. Our club strives to provide a family-friendly environment and that is a great way to describe the S3DA program. Rising Phoenix Archery is proud to be a part of S3DA and we look forward to hosting more regional shoots in the future,” stated Brandon Wright, Rising Phoenix Archery Head Coach.
