"The traditional bow hunter challenge".
We open a Qualifying round at our practice range where we make the contestants shoot under extreme pressure and we take the top 5 qualifiers on a woods walk around one of the 3-D courses were they can expect more of the same, they not only have to shoot well but we make them answer all kinds of hunting oriented questions as well as call various animals and so that they are infact prepared for a real hunt....
"The Smoker Round"
This was a new one for this year, basically this is how it works. Any one can participate, you put $1.00 in the pot and can only bring one arrow with you. Again we run you threw the ringer as we take you out on one of the 3-D courses, the object is to get the best score with out loosing or breaking your only arrow, and we don't make it easy....
Who ever makes it threw with the best score and still has there arrow in one piece wins the pot!
We also have 2 normal 3-D courses you can shoot as much as you want all weekend, seminars on flint knapping and selfbow building, swap meet, traditional vendors, door prizes, and a wonderful pot luck dinner on Saturday night.
I Hope next year some of the primitive archer family can make it!
