Foley, Alabama- February 29, 2024 The Archery Shooters Association (ASA) proudly concludes the highly successful Hoyt/Easton Pro/AM, marking the commencement of the 2024 Delta McKenzie ASA Tour. With unprecedented participation and thrilling competitions, the event set remarkable benchmarks in archery history.
Recording-breaking numbers underscore the magnitude of this year’s Hoyt/Easton Pro/AM, as 2047 registered shooters from 51 states and 6 countries flocked to Foley, Alabama.
