WSAA Multi-Color Championship Results
by Chris on Jan.26, 2012, under Archery, Main Page
The final results for the Washington State Multi-Color championships came in yesterday, and I was surprised to find that I finished third. I shot pretty well the second day, but I shot what I felt was a very mediocre score the first day, so I was quite surprised to find that I had finished in the medals.
Full results can be found here. My division is A-M-FS.
In case any of you are wondering why it is called the “Multi-Color” championships, it is because we shoot at a target like the one at left, which has multiple colors. Officially this is called a FITA (Federation of International Target Archery) face, but FITA scores this target differently then the National Field Archery Association does, so there are now two different rounds: FITA rounds, and what most of us call Vegas rounds, named after the World Archery Festival held each year in Las Vegas. Apparently Washington decided that “Washington State Vegas Championships” did not sound good, and since they also have a State FITA Championship, they went with “Multi-Color Championships.” This also helps to differentiate it from another commonly shot round, which uses a target that is all blue with a white bullseye. Washington calls this tournament their “Blue Face” championship.
PS – Back in November I shot in the Washington State Indoor FITA Championships, where I came in first place. I was surprised about that one too. 😉
