Outdoor Sportsman Group Announces Schedule for 2023 Delta/McKenzie Archery Shooters Association (ASA) Pro/AM Tour
February 23, 2023
Next Series Event is February 25 with Hoyt/Easton Pro/AM
DENVER (February 23, 2023) – Once again the Delta/McKenzie Archery Shooters Association (ASA) Pro/AM Tour is launching its six-event 2023 season in partnership with Outdoor Sportsman Group and its linear networks, digital and social channels. The first event kicks off this Saturday, February 25 with the Hoyt/Easton Pro/Am at 5 p.m. on Sportsman Channel.
Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) – the world’s largest aggregator, creator and distributor of outdoor lifestyle content – has re-signed as the official multimedia distributor of the Delta/McKenzie Archery Shooters Association (ASA) Pro/AM Tour. Events will be presented to the public via broadcast linear programming, digital and social channels (Sportsman Channel, MOTV and Sportsman Channel Facebook page). OSG will continue to showcase monthly tournaments throughout the spring and summer, with the final tournament on August 5 on Sportsman Channel.
The ASA, established in 1994, was formed to call attention to the sport of archery by providing a series of tournaments for highly-skilled participants. The concept has evolved to the point where Sportsman Channel agreed to televise tournaments in a six-month schedule in 2021, renewed that pact for the 2022 tournament season, and now the 2023 season. Each Delta/McKenzie ASA Pro/AM tournament can draw up to 2,000 amateur and professional archers from all over the world.
The ASA “Pro Pressure Point Shootdowns” are the highlight of each national Delta/McKenzie ASA Pro/AM tournament. After two days of competition in the field, the top five archers in each of the four professional divisions square off on a special, five-target field set up with stadium seating and Competition Archery Media’s broadcast cameras.
Each archer shoots an arrow at one of five targets to add to their two-day cumulative score from the weekend. If needed, a sixth arrow also is shot to determine the final podium positions. This phase of the competition features the added pressure of archers performing in front of hundreds of spectators on the field with broadcast cameras following their every move.
The following is a list of each remaining tournament with air date. Viewers will see the shootdowns broadcast live on Sportsman Channel at 5 p.m. ET on each of the following dates:
Feb 23 – Feb 26: Hoyt Easton Pro/Am (Foley, AL)
Mar 30 – Apr 2: Elite Archery Pro/Am (Russell County, AL)
Apr 27 – Apr 30: Easton Hoyt Pro/Am (Camp Minden, LA)
