Interesting, but sad. Hope it can be rescheduled.

Sorry to hear that. What's the reason, do you have any idea?

None of the TNC members have expressed a possible reason as far as I can tell. There is some talk of a reunification with the IAU (the older xbow target organization-WCSA was formed because-among other reasons-the IAU didn't seem to be interested in promoting "Sport" (hunting style) crossbow archery)
Money could be another reason though having been part of the team that has run
two JOAD nationals, One US Nationals and One Olympic trials, all of which had far more participants (02 JOAD had 300 or so archers) and the two JOAD tournaments were basically bankrolled by our JOAD club I couldn't see this being a main reason
