Train to Hunt 2015

[brocka]

I wanted to let everyone know about a new archery competition gaining some popularity around the west.

www.TraintoHunt.com



It’s currently in 6 states and now will be local to Western Washington! June 6th & 7th at Cedar River Bowmen!


I have personally competed in several of these and they are a blast!


Here is a quick glimpse of the event.

That looks awesome!

That's real cool! We have been training similar to this for years. Good way to get lots of folks together with common interests.

I have a new one I'm working on "road hunters challenge"  30 3-d targets hidden on a 10mile stretch.  You have a driver and a shooter see target get out and shoot score target high score at end wins.

Its crazy how many friends I have made from all over the West. I have a High Country CO Mule deer hunt planned now because of this event!

Dont forget to drink a beer between each target.

Also need to stop at each little turnout and roll the window down and let out a few bugles with the engine still running.

I should mention that last years National Championship event in CO will be airing on the Sportsmans Channel on May 2nd. Tune in and see what its all about!

Too bad this is directed at archery hunters, I am pretty sure I could do really well at these.

[Netminder01]

Cool! Wait, do I need to be in shape? 

Brocka - are you involved?

You don't need to be, but it helps ;-).

Yeah I am, I brought the event to cedar river.

[bracer40]

This looks really cool! And from the looks of the photo, it didn't look like there were very many "super masters".  I'd like to do this.
Please keep us posted. I'll be following along

Just need to pre-register by May 23rd if you want a tshirt. It's going to be a great event!

PM on the way...

I really like this. Once I read this post it really makes me want to get into better shape just to go compete sometime.

[brocka]

Just keep in mind if you're deciding on doing this.
You don't need to be in shape. Show up, compete & have fun. You will not regret it. I promise. People in all different types of shape show up at each event.

I think it should be a combination of time and score.  But who needs to get out of the truck?  Shooter should just shoot out of the truck bed.  Could be a two shoot event, first round at daylight and second round starts at 10PM.  Call it the "Teanaway Hunters Spectacular"!!  Alcohol consumption optional, but encouraged.

[SemperFidelis97]

Interesting, I may be down if some folks are going to show up.  It would give me a reason to up the ante on my workouts in the next couple months.

We have a handful already registered. I think there will be a good turn out. Alot of people sign up about a week before the event. There is a good number of people that travel around to the events that I know will be there as well.

[JJD]

Do they have an over 60 w/walker class, I might be competative in that class. 

[Stein]

Making it archery only is really going to limit the number of people that participate.  If it covered more than a short course archery scenario, I would certainly be interested.

Thanks for the feedback. It would be pretty difficult to make this a rifle course as we are extremely limited on venues to hold the event. Being archery only has been pretty successful so far though. Last year the events in OR & CO pulled around 70 competitors at each regional event. We are expecting more at each this year.

[coachcw]

I may do this with my daughter sounds fun.

[bowhuntersd]

I'm in. I've been looking for a reason to do both. Get in shape and 3D shoots. Can't wait. 

[jstone]

I also am very interested. I have joined the warrior dash and Spartan race this year. In the 40+ range. This just might be another on my list for the year.

[soccerftw123]

I would love to do this, but its the weekend before finals week. One week later and I would be there no doubt.

[huntnnw]

whole point of this is Archery..not anything else

[nw_bowhunter]

I would love to do this event unfortunately I'm on vacation when the event is being held, otherwise I would have signed up already. 

[D-Rock425]

sounds like work to me. 

[Odell]

Looks a little…aggressive? Will I need a mohawk? Will people call me 'bro'? 

[brocka]

Train to Hunt competitor and director, Will Bradley just started his own podcast. His first guess is the National champ, Phil Mendoza.

Take a listen!

So will the 3d course be open to non competitors?

You absolutely can do just the 3D.

Here is the link: http://traintohunt.com/product/hunters-3d-only-washington/#.VV6jrE-6e70

The website says show up on Sunday for it but we will just put the non competitors in on Saturday with the rest of the group.

Its a really fun walk through. Hope to see ya there!

[Seabass]

I will not be at this event but I'm certain it will be good! I wish I could be there to compete but I'm coaching baseball most of the summer.

I trained with Kenton Clairmont almost every day for 2 years and he is one of the best dudes I know. He knows how to put on an event like this. Any bow hunter can complete the course...you won't have a shot at winning; without being both in shape and a proficient archer but you will be able to complete it.

This might be one of those deals where you can look back in 5 years and claim to have competed in the early days, before it was really big.

[Johnb317]

Way cool, but not sure how I feel about being a 'super senior' though. 
Too bad there is no way to have a skin, quarter, hang competition.   

[bowhuntersd]

Just got home. Great event. Very challenging . I'll be back next year.

Glad you had a good time!!

[elk247]

Gonna put this on the list for next year.

[Yankee]

Great event, managed to come in 2nd place in the Master's category.  Was a great way to get in shape for hunting season.

[2MANY]

I will be competing in the mentally, physically, over 50, and handicapped division.
