I thought it was a pretty big event!

Seriously???

I remember hearing rumors last year about people complaining about something (not sure what it was?), but I didn't think it was enough to actually cancel the event. It was a pretty big event which I'm sure generated a lot of money for the local businesses.

Can you elaborate?

As far as I know the main organizers were quite burnt out and decided to go out on a good note.

Wow, sad to see such a great shoot die. Many good memories from my shooting days.

Default Maybe next year?

There is much to it and under the circumstances it could not go forward this year. There may be something in the works for next year but the club is trying to figure it out and put on something different and of interest to all. I will be in touch with the club and we should put together a survey of what people are looking for in a big venue so they have something to work with, there was lots of whining and complaining with the mother which made it difficult at times so with this refresh maybe we could try to put up something that brings back the fun and sportsmanship archery is known for.
