Section News – by John Pawlowski The 2007 Mid-Atlantic Indoor Sectional Tournament was held March 3 and 4 at ten locations: Cape May County Archery Association, NJ; Wa-XoBe Archers, NJ; Wopena Archers, NJ; Tuscarora Archers, MD; Prince William Archers, VA; Neil’s Archery, NY; Gander Mountain Archers, NY; Smith Point Sports, NY; York & Adams Archers, PA; and Walton Park Bowhunters, VA. This year, 370 archers participated, which is 82 more than last year. This is believe to be a record number of participants for the MA Indoor Sectional. For a number of years, various indoor rounds were used hoping to increase participation. This year the archers had the opportunity to try something different again. They had the opportunity to shoot either one or two times using their one best score asan official score for the tournament. The blue and white target indoor target was used. Archers who chose to shoot two times could have shot twice in one day or over a twoday period. Reportedly, 177 archers shot twice and 151 shot only once. One hosting club did not report how times each participant shot.
