Never been there. If I'm not busy that weekend, I'm going. 
How do you qualify to win the bow.

last year when I went I believe you shot at a steel target if you made it in you got a ticket if you hit steel no ticket.

challenge course. It isn't for everyone, shots will be 40-80 yards and tough.

Do these shots include Trad or do we shoot from the sissy stakes.

Joe would have to answer this as I don't know if he will have seperate stakes for trad/youth/women/etc, but the score keeping is more of a just for fun thing than a "winner" thing.  If you aren't comfortable with a shot, don't take it, or get to a distance you are comfortable with.  If I know Joe, he already has a plan hashed out though.  He is shooting a trad bow himself this year.

We blew the dust off the bows yesterday and shot some targets up there as a group, and the course is gonna be a good one when he finishes getting it set up.

Just a friendly bump!  We are two weeks away from hiking some hills and pounding some foam!

This was from the other weekend.  89 yard shot on the mutton buster!  Nice little cross wind going.   It's touching steel but it's in the foam

  Just come up I-82 to Exit 26 Canyon Road, drive north from there on Canyon Road (Hwy 821) for about 15 miles and you'll find the shoot between Mile Marker 14 and 15.  Parking at the shoot entrance is limited, so drop your crew off at the entrance (easy to spot), park at the resort and jump in the shuttle suburban.  Just takes a few minutes and your car won't be out on the highway.  Thanks so much, we look forward to seeing you.

We'll have trad stakes buddy!  I am all stickbow this time around and it will be totally reasonable.  25 - 40 yards on the challenge course for stick bow guys.  Thanks!  Joe Rotter

You'll buy a shot for $10, make the shot on the steel "Mutton Buster" Ram and you get in the drawing. Hit the multiplier dot in the heart... and you'll receive many tickets!  Not sure how many, gotta see how we set it up and we'll go from there.  Likely a multiplier of 5x or 10x.   Its really fun, super casual and a great group of folks that hit our shoot.  Thanks in advance.

We put up most of the course today, its going to be a great shoot guys.  The Challenge Course is the highlight for all the serious shooters, even some of the best archers will struggle a bit to hit targets.  Nothing like pushing the envelope a bit to make all the other stuff feel like a chip shot.

Traditional Shooters will have some great stakes. I'll be shooting the entire course with my recurve tomorrow and will be putting everything 15-30 yards for the stickbow crew.  Even if you can't make it, perhaps mention it to a few friends.  We worked very hard to simulate some of the most lifelike shots we can. The bedded bucks are VERY good.

Hey guys, we won't be shooting Sunday so before I forget I just want thank everyone who worked to get that course together!! That was a Bad A shoot today. What a blast it was and the challenge course was everything and then some. I only exploded one arrow today but that things was eating Em up!

Anyone who has a free Sunday tommorrow and can make it over with the bow I highly suggest lacing it up and stretch some cables out there!

Good job fellas and thanks again!

Man I wish I could make it. Home renovations unfortunately are taking priority. Sounds like fun.

Joe and the guys did a fantastic job with these courses and with the weather they ordered up!! Have to make this a regular shoot whenever possible!
