New Spiderweb Targets Two Spiderweb targets were bought and installed in the indoor range on July 27.THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR BROADHEADS.Please do not shoot broadheads into these targets.Donations covered a large portion of the target prices.Donations are still welcome to continue to cover the costs.
July 31 3D Update Nineteen shooters attended and feedback was positive from one attending shooter.Attendance was low likely due to another shoot held by Golden Arrow on the same weekend.Thanks to Jeremy for setting up the course for this shoot.Jeremy used the popup targets the club was thinking of selling in this tournament.The club will likely retain these targets for future shoots as they were a positive addition to the shoot.
Two Rivers Outdoor Range A few additional details are being worked out in regards to the outdoor range.The site proposed by Two Rivers management was originally away from the cabooses and Bart waded in through water.A site closer to the cabooses was selected; this site includes the wildlife management area (WMA).A road goes through this area that we will be able to use for target setup.Two Rivers requests we put of targets (not yet determined if these will be 3D or basic targets).The wildlife area can be used for the shoots, but not for regular club use.A garage will be available for the storage of targets.The area is also an equestrian area so use of the area may be limited.
Indoor Range Improvements Jeremy has painted the lines on the floor of the range.The banners have been hung and carpet has been installed behind the targets.
