Event
Our event is home to a 45-target tournament with many unique shots such as running animals, pop-up targets, speed rounds, and a steel target which provide opportunities for bonus points. There are also novelty events such as Last Archer Standing, Broadhead Challenge, Smoker Round, and Long Distance Clout. All of our tournament targets are placed with your fun in mind as well as ethical hunting practices for traditional archery. No targets are set past 45 yards, but you can expect the occasional obstruction in your shooting line as you may find in the wild.

Side Events
Last Archer Standing
Event is held Saturday afternoon at 4pm. Entry fee is $5. This event is done in a progressively challenging, shootdown format. The host will provide the participants with a “shot condition” on each target. (Shot condition examples: “must hit the target” or “must be inside the insert" or “must be in the 8 ring," etc.) Each participant then shoots one arrow. If they meet the given condition they progress to the next target. If they fail to meet the condition, they are eliminated. The winner will claim a grand prize and a custom made award.
Broadhead Challenge
Event held Saturday afternoon, following Last Archer Standing. Entry fee is $5. Participants must utilize a broadhead for this event. We ask that you dull the broadhead for safety purposes. This event will be held in a shootdown format concluding with the winner claiming a grand prize and a custom made award. The “shot condition” will always remain the same for this event: “must hit vitals” utilizing an anatomical 3D deer target. The “cut line” of the broadhead will be the determination, not the arrow's shaft. Each round we will increase the shooting distance until a champion is crowned.
Smoker Round
This event is self guided and open for the duration of the weekend. Entry fee is $5. Pay to play as many times as you would like. The highest score for both male and female, at the end of the weekend claims a grand prize. Participants are only allowed one arrow, they may bring components and materials for field repairs, but only one arrow or “shaft” is allowed. This course is challenging, expect obstacles and high consequence shots. Good luck!
George Papac Memorial Long Distance Clout
This event will be held Sunday afternoon at 1pm. Entry fee is $5. Participants will line up at an unknown distance +\- 100 yards. Closest arrow to the pin wins a grand prize and custom award. Come and join the barrage of arrows as they fly through the sky.
NEW Aerial Target Launcher
This will be open throughout the weekend Friday - Sunday. $3 for 6 arrows. Flu-flu arrows of various spines are provided by the event (no woods provided). Come and join the fun and laughter as you try to shoot flying discs out of the sky.
NEW Team Event
This event will be co-hosted by Nico Gallegos. It will take place during the tournament Saturday and Sunday. Participants will be required to register their team by Saturday morning at 9am. A team must consist of 4 shooters including: at least 3 different bow styles, at least 1 female and 1 Senior or Super Senior. Bonus points will be offered to Selfbow and Asiatic classes. At the end of the tournament Sunday, scores will be totaled and posted for review. The winning team will take home a perpetual trophy and have their names engraved in it with the corresponding year. They will also each win FREE REGISTRATION for the following year! The trophy is to be returned to TBC year after year in this perpetual format. The winning team will not be allowed to sign up for the team event again the following year, participants will have to break up the team by at least 50% in order to register for the Team Event the following year.
NEW Atlatl Challenge:
This event will be held Friday afternoon at 4pm, co-hosted by Dave Eagleton. This will be an official ISAC competition in conjunction with the World Atlatl Association. Participants will throw 10 darts each. Scores are collected by the WAA all year, with the winners announced at the end of the year. There is both a Primitive and Modern division. There will be some gear available for use, but personal gear is recommended if you have it.
