Williamsburg, KY – Wisconsin S3DA held an Indoor Regional at Hunters Edge Archery in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Although an incoming snowstorm affected some participants, nearly every flight of the day was completely full. Eight S3DA clubs and teams were represented.

One archer was quoted as saying “the practice rounds are just for the nerves.” All the archers were antsy to get going and the weather played a huge part in that. When talking to the archers about the winter storm and how this affected their mental game, one archer commented, “It’s okay, we are used to this kind of stuff. Wisconsin is known for their freak snowstorms that catch people off guard. Doesn’t bother me at all, I just stay relaxed and focus.”

S3DA WI State Coordinator, Dan Schroeder stated, “We experienced a winter snowstorm the day of the event bringing 6 to 9 inches of snow across the eastern Wisconsin area where nearly all of the archers were traveling from. Despite the poor conditions outside, we still had most of our archers show up and compete in this event. The dedication is unreal!”
