[jakeeib]

Who is planning on coming?

 

[dgmeadows]

Are rear slider moving sights allowed ? That's what I have on my hunting rigs.

 

[watermedic]

As long as you dont move it.

Max is 33-35 yds.

 

[jakeeib]

Yes slider style sights are allowed, just no magnification.
You can move it during the shoot, we will not limit that nor will we tell anyone how many pins to have or what yardage they can be set at.

Remeber this is a bowhunter shoot, please bring your hunting set up and lets all have a great time.

 

[jakeeib]

I have secured a $50 gift certificate to Deer Crossing Archery and a tree stand for two of the novelty shots, i think the third will be a 50/50 cash pot.
