Tournament description: The Sure Shot Invitational, now in its first year, is an archery tournament that is designed for secondary students throughout Arizona--6th through 12th grade. More specifically, in the years ahead, the tournament is being designed for interscholastic competition. In future years, the invitations to participate will be distributed to those leading archery programs and clubs within the context of public, charter, private, online, and home school situations. In so doing, separate and apart from the wonderful experience that individual archers can enjoy within the several public tournaments throughout the spring, the Sure Shot Invitational will ultimately celebrate both individual secondary archers as well as the school teams, clubs, and programs that help to fuel their interest and that contribute to the Arizona archery community as a whole.
