I know this may be moved to Archery or Bow Hunting.. but I thought this event actually had such a broad appeal that other people would love to know about this too..

feature=player_detailpage

My thoughts are on this.. is that this looks freaking awesome! A summertime, mountain competition. I think we could definitely pull this off in WA.. not to mention we have good amount of hunting manufacturers right here in the NW that would probably love to be sponsors!

How do we do this here in WA??? Perhaps call it "Shoot'em at Snoqulamie/Steven's?"

That would be sweet! What a great place for a shoot.

I would be there with about a dozen friends. I have no idea how we could go about getting it here but if someone new what kind of leg work needed to be done I would help as much as I could.

I think we could definetly get it done here, I have thought about this before but it would take some serious time invested into it.  Snoqualmie pass ski resort is the perfect location between Eastside and Westside, guys could fly into Seattle and shuttle to the Ski resort.  I think with all the connections many of us have we could pull it off, and have it as a mildly televised event!  I think a small core groupl of people put together is all it would take, but dedication would be the key!!  I for one would help drive this...  The first year at the bird was a small turnout but after that it went pretty big.

I am soooo glad to see some excitement as I had seeing this event. There is no reason we could not do the same in WA! Could be a huge summertime event! I already reached out to the guys at nockpoint as they are familiar with putting on events... But I know it will take a large wide spread effort.. So all those in favor, please lend your support!

I am in and would help out.  I haven't been able to get the hall pass yet to spend the money and time to trek to Utah.  It would be a ton of fun!

Crystal Mtn is just shy of 7,000', has the right type of lift, mtn bike trails are cut everywhere and the proceeds could go to the family of the fallen ranger.  They might go for it.

That's a great idea! What is the back story on the fallen ranger? I don't know if perhaps Stevens or Snoqualmie might be better as its a gateway to the east and west sides of the state.

I have only gone to a couple bow shoots, I like them, just don't have the time with work.  But I would make the time to go to something like this in WA.  And I know my buds would too.  Maybe someone who knows a few different bow shops and shooting ranges, bow associations could get a few of them involved to spearhead this along.
