No cost other than membership?
What kind of items at concession?
Sounds fun but I may need to pass until next year.

Burgers, pop and hot dogs were at the concession last time if I remember correctly. I believe registration fee is 10 bucks. But you have to be a member of Spfga! The May shoot was a great time! With the ABA scoring, it really makes you think about the shots. Also, a miss, can actually help your score, over a bad shot! I'll be there with my daughter. Should be lots of fun!

Yes, still members only shoot for this year. From response to two shoots this year, looks like may be worthwhile to possibly open to other archers next year. Still taking "baby steps" to running an actual open shoot. Concession is pretty simple; hot dogs and water/pop. Entry fee is $10. Two rounds of 21 hunting scenario targets. Couple of "never-seen-before targets"!?? Fun time is free!!

Come on out! The rest of us are spinning our broadheads off and giving the course a try(for sure changed from the May shoot!) Good chance to see how good you really are with your hunting bow.

This shoot was pretty awesome! Thank you to the people who made it possible. Great group of people. After we left, my daughter looks over and says, "the people at this shoot are really nice". It made me happy to hear that! I find the archery community rather welcoming. I'm happy she is seeing that too!! Thanks again for a great day of entertainment!!

This was my first 3d event and I had a blast. Anyone who has considered going to one but has yet to attend, owes it to themselves to try at least once.
Thanks to everyone there that made it a great time and especially to those who helped out. What a great course!
