Thanks! I'm hoping we see a ton of people, it's been pretty thin this year (25-38 folks) and I'd love to see 80-100.

Something else I just noticed on the *NEW* flyers (I'll get one scanned and put up later) is that the entry fee is a $20 donation for an individual $30 for a FAMILY.

How is the shoot set up? Classes, yardage, target types, etc. I live down the road and hope to come with a couple guys.

We USUALLY set up the normal, ASA style stakes for all classes, I'm pretty sure this weekend we'll do the same, but it might be 'short, middle, long,' since it's a 'for fun, benefit' shoot. As always in these type of shoots, since folks aren't competing against each other for money and the prizes are all door prizes, pretty much shoot from where you want, with the gear you want, as long as both are safe. If you want to use a rangefinder, go ahead. I'm shooting my hunting set up, and if a target ticks me off, I might just tackle it after the arrows have been pulled.

Ok - The range is set to 'short - medium - long,' and from what Clay said, there's a 40' x 40' main tent, a stage (for calling out raffle winners) etc. etc. down at the property - I'll be there at the crack o' dawn, and rain or shine, I'll be there all day. Unless it rains cocker spaniels, if those little yappers come flyin' out o' th' sky, I'm leaving....

Posted this in another thread about what shooters want, but figured 323 deserved some recognition for a job well done! Thank you!


As a kid 15-20 years ago, I used to shoot a few 3-d tournaments a year with my dad and friends. I LOVED it. For some reason, we quit going. I've always wanted to get back into it, but like many here have said, I was intimidated by the "big time" shooters and quite frankly didn't have the confidence to do it. Yesterday I shot the charity event held by 323 archery and Gable's sporting goods. It was for fun, and for a great cause so I figured why not? Let me tell you, it was a BLAST and I am ate up with it now! They had a "break the lifesaver" competition that I couldn't get enough of (but my wallet did) lol...I wound up placing 2nd in that event, and the encouragement of the more serious shooters telling me I had the talent to shoot competitively and that they wanted to see me out there more boosted my confidence ten fold! It was a great event and I can honestly say 323 archery created a spark on a new shooter yesterday! Well done!

Simply put; Keep it simple, make it fun, and they will come!n
