Title: late bow range
Post by: rebal69972 on September 30, 2011, 02:27:58 AM: Ive been at the range a few times since early season closed and i haven't really seen anyone i know that's nothing new i hit the range during the days mid week but 2-3 weeks before season i don't go to the range because everyone is there but as soon as season closes I'm right back and its back to being pretty quiet. i was kinda wondering if anyone alse goes between early and late season?

Post by: mtbiker on September 30, 2011, 09:24:16 AM: I can shoot up to 35 yards in my backyard. Don't make it out to the club/range much at all after Sept 1st. Looks like Skookum has a fun shoot on the 8th. Also, some other 3D shoots later in the month and into Nov. Those will be good "intermission" opportunities.

I own 5 acres, and have 13 targets scattered around, and a "Block", practice year-round, rarely go to range but like to attend 3D shoots.
Although, if I lived up north still I would like to go to Cedar River Bowmens "mid season tune up" (if they still do it)
