The Ultimate Total Archery Challenge Prep Guide


Listen Later

Ready to take on the ultimate 3D archery experience? Whether you're headed to your first Total Archery Challenge or looking to improve your next TAC adventure, this comprehensive preparation guide covers everything you need to know before hitting the mountain.

The Total Archery Challenge isn't your average 3D shoot. With courses stretching 2-8 miles through rugged terrain, shots ranging from 40 to 120+ yards, and extreme uphill and downhill angles, TAC tests every aspect of your archery game. We break down the essential equipment considerations that can make or break your experience, starting with what might be the most critical gear decision: footwear. Quality boots with ankle support will keep you moving confidently through mud, rocks, and steep terrain throughout those long days on the course.

Your bow setup requires special attention for these challenging conditions. We discuss the advantages of slider sights over fixed pins, the importance of properly leveled axes for extreme angle shots, and arrow selection strategies that balance speed, weight, and durability. From the popular Easton 5.0 arrows to micro-diameter options, we explore the pros and cons for TAC's demanding shooting scenarios. Don't forget to pack smartly – hydration systems, rain gear regardless of forecast, snacks for energy, and a small first aid kit can save your day when weather shifts suddenly in mountain environments.

Beyond gear, we share invaluable course strategy tips, safety considerations, and physical preparation advice that will help you not just survive but thrive at Total Archery Challenge. Whether you're a competitive archer or a hunter looking to test your skills, proper preparation will transform your TAC experience from a grueling challenge into an unforgettable adventure through some of the most beautiful shooting locations in America. Come join the fun – your bow, your boots, and your adventure await!
