Have you ever been to a tournament and wonder what do I do? If so you are not alone, many beginning archers don’ know what to do after they arrive at the shooting venue. Here are some things you need to do as soon as get to the shooting venue or before you arrive there.
1. The first thing you need to do before the tournament is find out where and at what time you shoot. This is imperative because many tournaments will not allow shooters to shoot if they arrive late to a tournament. It is also important to confirm the time and location of where you shoot once you arrive at the shooting venue. This needs to be done promptly because sometimes a course may have to be moved due to numerous uncontrollable reasons.

2. The first thing you should do once you arrive at the tournament site is to register. If you haven’t already registered it is important that you do this immediately after you arrive. If you don’t register on time you will either not be allowed to shoot or you will have to pay a very large late fee.
3. After you have registered and check the time and location of where you are going to be shooting you can now start to relax. Relaxing, before and during a tournament, will greatly improve your success at a tournament. By allowing your body to relax you will be less likely to tense up and force your arrow in a direction that it shouldn’t go in.
4. Before you start competing make sure you practice. Many things could have happened to your bow during your trip to the tournament so make sure everything is where it should be a working correctly. However it is also important that you don’t practice too much. If you practice too much then you will get tried during the tournament and likewise your score will suffer.
5. The most important thing that you can do on tournament day is to arrive to the tournament location early. This will allow you to get settled in and relaxed. If you rush to the tournament because you are late you are more likely to rush your shots. Remember, just because you have time doesn’t mean you need to practice once you warm up stop shooting.
6. Last but not least have faith in yourself; you have been practicing for a long time for this moment so make sure you make the most of it!
