Silver Arrow Bowmen

This is our most fun, least competitive shoot each year. We like to think of this as out outdoor BBQ/get together. We will have lots of challenge shots, and moving targets. We normally have special food for the BBQ. There will be some limited camping available and plenty of spots for RVs. We even have a couple of spots where you could plug in if you require a C pap machine that requires 110-120 volt plug in.

We will also be selling off some of our old targets that we will no longer be using. We will be doing an inventory here soon however i think there will mostly be McKenzie targets.

We Finnaly got in our 6 new Rhinehart targets! We thought we were going to have them in for our last shoot and something got screwed up.

But they are here now!

We now have a full size moose, buffalo, standing elk and 3 new deer one of which has a huge rack!
Summerfest Will have 45 targets on Saturday and 30 targets on Sunday. I look forward to seeing you there!

We will be holding a silent auction for some of our retired targets Here is what will be there
3 whole deer
3 deer minus the head
1 walking bear
1 antelope
4 turkeys
1 havelina
1 rockchuck

10 center sections of animals that would make great broad head targets.

We will also be selling 2 covered targets. They are tin roofed targets with compressed straw bailed targets. We had to remove these in the course redesign, and we are replacing with new ones.

I can't make the shoot but it sounds like a blast.

That is always a fun shoot!

What are the typical ranges that they set the targets at? 10 to 60 yards?

Bearhunter · « **Reply #6 on:** May 20, 2012, 09:43:14 PM »

SpecialT I am stoked as this will be the first shoot of the year that I will be able to attend! My bow is dialed now for Goats we shall see how it performs on foam cant wait!!

Any sight restrictions at these shoots?

I don't think there are any sight restrictions, other than you shoot with at least one eye open..... You can also have your flashlight on your bow if you want.

I'm going to try to drag Weathergirl to this one.

h2ofowlr · « **Reply #9 on:** May 21, 2012, 09:26:37 PM »

Sounds like this could be fun. I might give it ago.

Special T · « **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2012, 06:49:49 AM »

The ranges are usually 10 60 yards We will likely put up challenge stakes for double points. Since we have a new BIG target i think we will have at least one shot that is really stretched out.

Bearhunter · « **Reply #11 on:** May 22, 2012, 06:27:54 PM »

Whats the new ONE BIG target? Or is it a Secret?

Special T · « **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2012, 11:18:41 PM »

Here is a Pics of one of the target buts that we will be selling via silent auction..

Bearhunter I'll give you a hint. Its the largest target made in production

Just wanted to remind people of the up coming shoot! There is Room for RV's and plenty of parking!

dreamingbig · « **Reply #14 on:** May 29, 2012, 01:26:06 PM »

I wish I could make it. It sounds like a lot of fun! I hope you have a great turn out.

Special T · « **Reply #15 on:** May 30, 2012, 07:53:46 PM »

This is the pic of the second backstop we will be silent auctioning. The bails are currently strapped together tighter, one of the improvements we just made.

Special T · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31, 2012, 06:21:10 PM »

Taking the day off of work to help set up tomorrow... Should be a great day for shooting. A few sprinkles on Sat and overcast. Just enough to justify doing something other than yard work!

Special T · « **Reply #17 on:** June 01, 2012, 09:04:54 PM »

The course is all set up, we are having ribs and oysters for lunch tomorrow!

If you want to sell you used equipment, there will be a used equipment table set up, with 10% of the sale price going to the 4-H shooting club that we sponsor. The silent auction bids will close out on Sunday, so if you are bidding and only shooting on Saturday please make sure to include your phone number on the bid sheet!

The forecast is scattered showers on Saturday morning, with it clearing up later in the day and overcast on Sunday.

Special T · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2012, 06:52:21 PM »

Thank you For everyone that showed up!

We had 94 shooters on Saturday and 48 on Sunday. Our 4H shooting club had a camp out and today was an awesome shooting day. We had 6 of our new rhineheart targets. A full size Moose, Buffalo, and Standing elk, plus we had 2 new whitetail and a mule deer. The ribs and Oysters were great. I personally did fairly well with the moving targets. The flying pig and the running coyote. I only gave one arrow up the archery gods on the flying pig and managed to sink an arrow each day into the coyote. All our silent auctions sold, except we still have a few broad head targets left, that will likely find a home soon.

A Special Thanks to Gary at Riverside and Roger at Wilderness for all their support this year by supplying us with Door prizes. We are truly a lucky club to have the support of 2 great pro shops.

Got to Shoot on Saturday, once again great shoot, and loved the new targets!

Special T · « **Reply #20 on:** June 04, 2012, 10:04:04 AM »

Did you like the steep uphill shot at a Mt Goat we put up for ya?

Bearhunter · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2012, 02:50:11 PM »

Yes, and boy was that a big Billy, sure would like to find one like him! My wife and I both got 10's on him but we cheated and used a rangefinder!

Special T · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2012, 02:56:30 PM »

The real question is how did you do on the moose? LOTS of people shot low on that one.

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2012, 03:12:48 PM »

Heard it was a great shoot, wish I could havemade it, but had my limbs come apart on me earlier this week... so waiting for my new ones to get here.....

Bearhunter · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:42:13 PM »

I took two arrows at the moose, If i remember rite it was around 70ish yards, hit high on both about 1/2 apart for an 8.... Those targets sure pull easy as well and the arrows holes just dissapear... we shall se how they hold up. The antlers are fairly floppy on them thou.
