Elm Hall, MI Stick Bow shoot....its a goodin'!
« on: June 10, 2011, 12:12:13 pm »
  TRADITIONAL ARCHERY SHOOT

August is traditional archery time at the Pine River Recreation Club in Elm Hall, Michigan. Located on 135 acres just nine miles west of Alma, Michigan, the Pine River Recreation Club is hosting its 22nd annual Stick Bow Shoot on August 5, 6 & 7, 2011.

Over the years the Stick Bow Shoot has become THE premier summer traditional archery event in Michigan and with good reason! The Stick Bow Shoot features Pine River Recreation Club’s famous hospitality, free primitive camping, campfires, great company and a super, FREE meal for campers on Saturday night featuring roast pork, venison, sweet corn, fire baked potatoes, a fish fry and more!

There are 28 3-D targets, including life size elk and caribou, in a realistic, wooded setting, that take the traditional archer through almost 1 mile of shooting situations and there is a 14 target broadhead course for traditional archers that love to shoot broadheads! Sorry - shooting is limited to recurve and longbows only. We also have the 2nd annual Kill Switch Tournament that a lot of people are talking about and are excited to shoot again, when the lights go out!                 

Admission for the entire weekend is only $25.00 for singles and $45.00 for families with children under 18 years of age and children 11 & under shoot free when accompanied by an adult. All admission fees include unlimited shooting on either target range. That’s right - UNLIMITED SHOOTING!

It’s hard to describe just how much fun this event is but there are participants that have been attending for the past 20 years, which says it all! Registration is available from 12:00 noon on Friday, August 5th, 2011, through 2:30 P.M. on Sunday, August 7th, 2011.

For more information call Brian Rockafellow at 989-833-2430 evenings or email to brockafellow@liquipak.com or call Brent Singer at 989-436-1075 evenings or emial to singerbrent@cmsinter.net.

We are only 10 miles west of the "main drag" heading north. I promise the 3d course alone will be well worth the trouble of coming across. Its the best I have shot.

There's no way that I'll EVER miss this shoot!  I'll have to dip out for a couple hours since I'm playing in the Lansing Jazz Festival on Saturday, but I'll be there.  I might even bring my stave press and a tiller tree.  Who knows what'll happen?  ;D

Looking forward to meeting you Pearl Drums.  My good friend Marty and myself will be setting up a bow building tent for the shoot.  We spoke with Brent or Brian about a month ago about it.  Can't wait to meet some of you fellas that I haven't had the pleasure of in the past.

That was Brian you spoke with, he is a good guy. You guys are going to have a riot at this shoot. Its very laid back with plenty of room to roam and camp. I will swing by for sure and check out your set up. I love watching somebody else chase rings and peel bark off!

Saturday night FOOD FEST is worth the price of admission.  It is a really good weekend.  The range is a good one with a lot of laughter heard all over the range. The folks that put this shoot on really do a great job and go out of there way to make everyone feel at home.

Been reading Pappys thread.  Going to have to look him up and thank him for the good read.
