Oklahoma Archery

No one can deny that Total Archery Challenges (TAC) events have become a destination spot for archery enthusiast. With the Oklahoma TAC event coming up this month we figured this would be a great time to learn what they are about. Learn the history of where TAC started, what you can expect at an event, vendors, and don't forget the targets.
