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!

Orange County Historical Society Museum’s Youth Sports Exhibits
Archery made it into the Orange County Historical Society Museums exhibit on Youth Sports! The club, coaches and several archers contributed bows, arrows, medals and pictures. They have lots of other sports as well, so plan your visit. (There are also some great restaurants and Matthew’s Chocolates in walking distance to the museum)
