Come prepared for anything. Bring your bag and horn and hawk and knife. You may need them .We have expanded our Woodswalk and installed a new Seneca Course. Plus a Hawk & Knife Woodswalk .

We have also changed our format. Some of our regular monthly shoots will not have prizes awarded for placing in the matches. We will be having drawings for door prizes each month. Old shooter and new shooter have the same chances at a prize. 3 Door prizes each month. This also means a lower price for the shoots each month. A $5 registration fee is still in place but the match fee will be a flat $4
