Steve Yee
With heavy hearts, we have lost Steve. Steve has been a coach, mentor, innovator, crusader, and most importantly a friend. His impact on Desert Sky Archers, Arizona Archery and USA Archery has been amazing.
Steve fought for the youth archer. Demanding quality equipment for new and our youngest athletes. Many an Arizona youth archer started their archery career with one of Steve's frankenbows. Most famous is Cookie Monster.
Steve coached many top youth archers here in Arizona and via virtual coaching. Innovating the use of cameras, Skype and other virtual techniques to keep in touch with his archers while he fought with his health.
Steve also was part of the push to bring live electronic scoring even down to the local level tournaments. He worked with Ianseo, BetweenEnds and Rcherz.
Steve's biggest impact was his friendship. He was always ready to sit and talk to a fellow archer. He would jump in and help any archer in need, regardless of club affiliation.
Steve, we will miss you.

In Arizona we are blessed with skilled judges and incredibly hard working volunteers. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes to ensure our tournaments run smooth - this team (and many more not pictured here) was phenomenal.


This weekend, we were delighted to host one of the final outdoor shoots in the state and we are not disappointed. We were blessed with decent winds and tormented with some heat, but we loved spending our weekend with all of you archers. This is DSA’s second last tournament of the year - we cannot wait to head back to our indoor range and get out of this unusual heat for this time of year.
As usual,

Featuring an electrifying desert sky (name drop?) and the new USA Archery Arizona logo, these jerseys are sure to catch your eye. Also on our sleeve is DSA’s new mascot, Benny the Wolf.
There’s still four more sessions of shooting left for state, and we hope to see more of you there!

Each year, the ABFAA presents the Copper Arrow Award to an individual who has shown ‘outstanding service and dedication’ to our sport, and we are beyond proud that this years recipient was DSA’s own, Rick Bachman! We would be lost without our president and we are humbled by the boards appreciation. Thank you @caytiebelzner and @stephanielord20 for presenting this this afternoon.
We are also proud to announce a pending 25M World Record in the U18 Women’s Compound division - Liko Arreola with a score of 587! Congratulations on this amazing achievement @liko_arreola_808 !
From everyone at DSA, we wish you happy and safe holidays, and we look forward to seeing you all again in the new year!
