This is going to be a great time! The members of our club really do a great job of setting the course and put a lot of time into trimming the lanes and trails. I know I've been thinking of one or 2 new "cheeky" target lanes to cut in!

I just wish I was going to be able to make it. I'll be "suffering" while im thinking about it in the Okanagan......:-(

I hope to make it down and support the ABA, i love this style of shoot. We were definitely disappointed in GP that we lost the bid but I am sure Whitecourt will do a great job! Maybe we can puck up a few pointers and get a chance to host it next year😉.

Looking for something to do this weekend? Got your bow ready for the season? Weather looks awesome to come out and shoot some 3d!

Whitecourt F&G Woodlands Bowbenders is hosting the ABA Bowhunter Challenge Final this Saturday and Sunday.

It's a great way to prepare and see if things are dialed in for the seasons
