Sportsman Channel to Host Live Broadcast Event of McKenzie ASA Classic on Saturday, August 28 at 5 p.m. ET

OSG Logo New

DENVER (August 25, 2021) Sportsman Channel, a network of Outdoor Sportsman Group – the world’s largest producer, aggregator, creator and distributor of outdoor lifestyle content – continues as the official multimedia distributor of the McKenzie Archery Shooters Association (ASA) 3D Live Tournament. The next event to broadcast via linear, digital and social channels (Sportsman Channel, MOTV and Sportsman Channel Facebook page) is the McKenzie ASA Classic on Saturday, August 28 at 5 p.m. ET in Cullman, Alabama.

The network has distributed monthly tournaments through the summer, which are now available to stream on MyOutdoorTV (MOTV).

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. Each McKenzie ASA 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 McKenzie ASA 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 CAM’s broadcast cameras.

Each archer shoots an arrow at one of the 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 having to perform in front of hundreds of spectators on the field with broadcast cameras following their every move.

Sponsors of the McKenzie ASA 3D Live Tournament include: Elite Archery, Hoyt, Easton Southwest, TRU Ball & Black Eagle and Mathews. For more information on Sportsman Channel and the Archery Shooters Association, visit: www.asaarchery.com.

About Archery Shooters Association: In addition to the national Tour, the ASA supports more than 330 clubs that provide an excellent opportunity for everyone to shoot. With a focus on the growth of the sport of 3-D archery by supporting local clubs and making a commitment to youth education and training, the ASA has established itself as a leading force in the movement to bring the sport to mainstream America. The ASA organization includes experienced archers and coaches that work year-round conducting well- organized and challenging local, state, and national tournaments that are enjoyed by professional and amateur shooters alike.
