 I.S.A.C.

I.S.A.C., the International Standard Accuracy Contest, has proved to be a singularly popular contest with high participation and competition in the U.S. and Europe.  In 2001, 183 I.S.A.C. contests were held with a total of 2,361 contestants.  Scores are kept in a database and winners are announced once a year.  High scorers are almost evenly divided among Europeans and U.S. participants in all categories - men, women and youth.   Within the World Atlatl Association, it is truly an international event and many throwers are quite competitive. Contests are held in France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Spain as well as all over the United States.  As of February 2002, there are 103 contests scheduled for this season.
