2020 US Flight Shoot

Hello,
The 2020 US Flight Championships at Bonneville is just over three weeks away, and I have some important information for any of you who wish to attend.

First off, we are relying solely on electronic pre-registration this year through USA Archery.  It is very important to have everyone registered as soon as possible.  This is important for USA Archery, who is providing insurance for the event, and for us organizers who need to to know everything from the amount of masks needed, to the number of porta-potties we will need to rent.

Despite all the challenges of 2020, I feel this will be a very fun and safe event.  I know some of you have been working on some pretty impressive bows lately and I hope we can see what you can do on the flight range! We had to put in place some changes in order to minimize the COVID-19 risks, but fortunately the location at the Bonneville Salt Flats lends itself to social distancing quite well.

Dates & high level schedule:
Thursday, September 3rd - Practice and Equipment checks
Friday, September 4th & Saturday 5th - Regular Flight Rounds
Sunday, September 6th - Broadhead Flight Rounds

I will post a link to the registration and detailed event info if it is okay.

Also, we often have archers who need bows to shoot, and sometimes there are people with bows that they’d like shot, but can’t make it to the event to shoot. Let me know if you fall in either of these categories and we can see if we can match people together.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks!

I made a mistake on a reflexed sinew backed juniper Miwok style bow I meant to use in the #50 primitive class. It’s 51” long and has 9” reflex. The mistake was when the tillering was done it draws 34# @ 24.4”. I don’t think the men have that weight class. If a talented female archer is willing to shoot I think it could bring a record. I went to a field for the first time since last sept and with one shot sent a 201 grain arrow 268 yards. No big feat but may take the 35# primitive record.

Badger:
  Chuck, if you got that on one shot no doubt a good shot could hit 300 or better.
