Default Jim Bows Edmonton 1st Annual Ping Pong Shoot

Hi all,

If you want to have some fun and a chance to win some awesome prizes check this out! Limited spaces available!!!!

In just over a month, it will all come down to hitting this little ball. Jim-Bows Archery's annual ping pong shoot is on Saturday, March 18th. Registration opens this Tuesday, February 14th. Only 50 spots are available, so please remember to register. You must prepay at time of registration.

For those of you who don't know about our ping pong event, each archer comes out and shoots three arrows per round, and on average will shoot 18 to 24 arrows in the day. The target butts will be covered with playing cards and ping pong balls. If you hit the playing cards you have a chance to win instant prizes, as some cards have prizes on them, but some do not. If you hit the ping pong balls, your name is then entered into our draw for larger prizes, selected at the end of the day. This is a fun shoot that will challenge you to hit small targets. Don't forget to register as this shoot will fill up quick - registration fee is $60.

We are looking forward to seeing you there! Drop in or contact the shop directly to register, 780-488-7705.

Anyone in Edmonton who is considering it should definitely go! It is an absolute blast and you won't regret it!

There's about 10-15 spots left on the registration for the Edmonton shoot. At least there was when I left there around 2pm today. Unfortunately, I'll be up at work that weekend. Seems like it'd be a good time!

Flights almost full, if you are on the fence....get off it

Pretty sure all prizes will be awarded on the day if the shoot....flights will keep shooting till they are gone.

Hoping to get down and watch some of the shoot! I always enjoyed the ping pong ball shoots I took part in.

What a great time at the shoot today, I don't think I saw anyone without a smile. Nice work all the employees of Jimbows and volunteers on an awesome event.

Not completely necessary! Haha
That was the first time since November that I shot my bow and I walked away with a few solid prizes!

Was so fun, looking forward to next year already!
