The News at Wolf Ridge Archery
NFAA multi-tournament event: September 22-27
The National Field Archery Association (NFAA), in partnership with the NFAA Easton Yankton Archery Center (NEYAC), is excited to announce a six-day, multi-tournament event for September 22-27. The event will feature several major events:
WRA Status: Reopening postponed
We had hoped to reopen in June. However, the Orange County Health Department continues to show an increase of cases. In light of that we have postponed our opening. We will post information here and on the WRA Alert when we have a new date in mind.
In the meantime, archers can sign the joint Wolf Ridge Archery and Camp Chestnut Ridge Covid-19 waiver. The waiver is online. It will prompt you for your email address and then send you an online form for your electronic signature. The form supports the signature of two adults and acknowledgement of any minor children. Please have this form submitted at least a day before the first practice you plan to attend. We will confirm the waiver status the morning of practice.
Also, the Camp has confirmed their check in procedures. As we are hosted on their campus, we will follow their required health checks before archers (and other attendees) set up on the field. (Details on our Health Check page). Based on these questions, if there is a possibility that you may have been exposed to Covid-19, we would ask that you not participate at that time. Our goal is to keep all of our members safe.
Initially practices will open only to members with their own equipment. This allows us to test social distance protocols. These protocols include
In addition: dues for this semester are waived.
Coach Allison has not deposited checks. She can destroy those or apply their funds to the next semester. If you paid in cash, you can have a refund or similarly apply them to the next semester. Just contact Alli at archerycoach@wolfridgearchery.org
Thank you for your patience during this time. We hope you and your families are safe and healthy and we can't wait to see folks back on the field. If you have any questions, please contact Coach Allison at archerycoach@wolfridgearchery.org

Initially practices will open only to members with their own equipment. This allows us to test social distance protocols. These protocols include
- Marked shooting lane boundaries. They cover both the line and the waiting area. Archers must stay within these areas.
- Targets will be set up one per archer or one per archery family.
- Archers must register in advance for practice times. (We will use a SignUp Genius Form) There will 2 lanes reserved for coaches, 4 lanes reserved for family groups and 6 lanes for single archers.
- Where possible, archers should bring their own bow stands to limit possible contact at the main bow stand.
- Archers should bring their own water, snacks, bug spray, etc.
- A bleach solution will be available to clean equipment/targets.
- We ask that archers wash their hands before and after practice.
- Other protocols may be implemented as recommended by the Camp and Orange County Public Health Department. Archers will be notified of these changes.
- Finally, if archers feel ill or if any of their household are suffering Coronavirus symptoms, we ask that you not attend practice.
- WRA will have finger tabs and arm guards available for purchase. Members can also purchase these from other sources such as Mace Sports, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Eagle’s Flight Archery, First Flight Archery and Lancaster Archery Supply.
- If you would like to purchase additional equipment, please feel free to contact any of the coaches for advice on equipment and vendors.
In addition: dues for this semester are waived.
