Just thought I would throw the flyer up for everyone!

Camping is 100% through Stevens Pass, we have no hand in it.

Here is the link to reserve a spot if you want to!

I went to the Oregon event last week at Hoodoo. I had a great time talking to the guys from Born and Raised Outdoors and bought a new shelter from Jimmy Tarps. The not so fun part was the amount of people that showed up. Hoodoo expected 300 and 1500 showed up by Saturday night. As you could imagine, this turnout significantly slowed down the courses. It took me 5 hours to shoot the Pure Elevation course. I imagine Stevens Pass is going to be a great time, I would just suggest arriving early to get in front of the line for your preferred course.

They were expecting around 1000. That's why we added the 4th course. Still, wasn't enough. Next year there will be "Tee times" that you register for. Definetely get on the mountain early or wait till later in the day!

I will confirm tomorrow, but I believe that website is for hook up spots only. Still can park and dry camp your RV

Bring a tent, toss it up and you're good to go.  If it's busy and you get backed up, then instead of getting pissed maybe realize you're on top of a mountain, bow in hand, hanging with buddies and just enjoy the moment.  I for one hope it continues to grow and Brock and crew continue to find success in bringing us an event unlike any other :tup:

Thanks guys for all your hard work and we'll see everyone there  :IBCOOL:

Amen Karl!  Last year we shot the Phelps course right out of the gate and only had a group or two in front of us.  Then we jumped to the pure elevation course and it went fairly fast until the traffic jam at 13... the competition shooters were in groups of 5 or 6 and lets just say they use their range finders and binos a LOT.  We bailed off and went and had a beer in the sun.  Headed for home a little after 5 for a bbq.

Should be able to pop a tent in the parking lot like two years ago correct? If you get in a jam look at the view up there. It is truly awesome

Want to confirm, we can dry camp with an rv in the parking lot?  Sounds like hook ups are full, fine with me id prefer to dry camp as long as its ok with Stevens pass.  Can anyone confirm this is ok?
thanks in advance

It’s pretty sweet to have an archery shoot that is so close to actual hunting situations! Has anyone been able to compare it to the total archery shoot in Utah?

Very good thing you guys added the 4th coarse this year it would have been really long wait times otherwise. O yeah how about making the pure elevation coarse a little tougher :chuckle:

Yes! After last year we knew we had to add a 4th course. We are looking at potentially having the courses open to shoot on Friday next year as well.

Hey, I didn't make you walk to the top of the boulder field this year! But dont worry, I will make it tougher next year!

Opening up the courses on Friday is a great idea!  We had a great time, only a few bug bites to deal with.  Weather was perfect, didn’t even lose an arrow this year.  Also can’t wait till next year, thanks to all for a great set up.

So Friday night up in the rv spots Jason Phelps stops by while bs’ing with the neighbors and invites us up to his camp fire and says Tony Wintrip is going to be singing a few songs, who da thunk it, kick ass night, with a bunch of great people, might need a bigger camp spot for Jason next year.
