Register for the Orange County Senior Games Archery tournament
This is for those young at heart archers who are 50+ years old. This year’s OCSG’s archery tournament will be held April 21st at Cates Creek Park in Hillsborough, NC. Start time TBD. At this event you shoot at 60, 50 and 40 yards (not meters) on a 122 cm face. It is open to both Orange County and non-residents. We just ask that non-residents indicate that on on their registration form.
If you want a Print registration form, contact Latonya Brown at 919-245-4270 or lbrown@orangecountync.gov. She can tell you how to get and submit those forms.

Winter weather
In winter, weather conditions will not always be favorable for archery. Since we want archery to remain fun and not something to dread, we have a winter policy. In the instance of inclement weather, at 1:00 pm on Saturday we will check weather.com.
- If it forecasts the temperature to drop below 45 between 3:00 & 5:00 pm in Efland, we will cancel practice.
- We will also be mindful of any winter weather or flood warnings issued for Orange county. Archery is a safe sport and that includes coming to and from practice. If there are warnings in place, we will cancel.
- So be sure to sign up for WRA Alerts to receive these updates!
