SYRACUSE – This year, the Sullivan West Archery Club sent 20 students to the 2026 NASP NYS Bullseye Tournament. This event was held in Syracuse and hosted 560 students. The top ten students and #1 ranked team in this tournament are awarded the opportunity to move on to compete in Kentucky at the NASP Eastern National Tournament in May.
