Field round shoot in May each year at Mountain Bowmen in Berlin, Pa...Somerset County. My fun shoots are stumping outings. This year I went to ETAR as usual but didn't shoot one target. I have never shot a competitive 3D.

They are all fun shoots for me. My only bow competition are the deer in the fall. As far as a favorite, I can only narrow it down to 2. The Tennessee Classic and the Marshall, Michigan primitive shoot. I went to Mojam this past summer and had a blast. The only bad thing about it is the drive time to get there. I hope to attend the pre spring fling and Comptons this year.

My favorite shoot is generally the shoot I am currently at. I really don't have any favorites. I would really like to attend some of the shoots I read about on this site that are in other parts of the country but there are a lot of fine shoots in my own home state I have yet to shoot. They have all been fun to me.

One of my favorite shoots was by a club called Powder Monkey in Leechburg, Pa. The club closed down many years ago but once a year they had a real nice shoot there. They had refreshments in the club house, a pole building with numerous vendors, a 3D course, a stationary target range, novelty shoots, etc. The people there were great. I sure do miss that club.

I enjoyed shooting two state IBO shoots last year, will probably shoot 3 or 4 in 2019. Plus the New England shoot. (Someone has to give Wild Bill some competition, he's been dominating STRD for too long ;-) )
Skipped the 'White Mountain Traditional Rendezvous' in 2018, hope to go back in 2019. Also there was a shoot down in CT that I had to miss, hope they do that again. Good reviews!

You just can't stop at one or two. Since I live in Ohio, it's gotta be "Cloverdale", "Compton", "ETAR", and all of the 3d shoots at "Farmland", and lets not forget the "Trad Bow Expo" coming up next month in Kalamazoo, MI. See you all there!!!

Cloverdale has been a must-do for me for 28 years. They set the best 3D range I have shot any where. But I must say that next to that one, Baltimore Bowmen Classic is hard to beat.

When able to overcome social anxiety, I have got to shoot the Traditional Archers of Oregon annual Pope & Young shoot. This includes the clout, the wand , and a good 3D animal round. Novelties also find their place and test archers and arrows. Clout is 6x flights of 6 arrows each down and back 3x on a 180 yard course. target is a stake and scoring is using a color coded rope with 9/7/5/3/1. Standing and watching a flight of arrows from maybe 30 plus archers is inspirational. Wand is 6 ft post x 4 inches wide with 1inch"2? down the middle at 100 yards. 6 down and 6 back x 3 . Some archers hit the thing 4 times or even more. This is the last weekend in July yearly. In June over by Camp Sherman,is the Stick and Sage . Very nice location with challenging 3d course. Novelties include a flying goose shoot and one that pits the best against the best is a milk jug shoot, where each arrow on target makes a hole letting the water out of the jug until the winners jug lifts up and the runner up has jug lowering down. Saturday night is potluck dinner and afterward is a Blue Grass concert from local musicians. I think that Oregon is home to some world class traditionalists.

A fun shoot - TBOF charity (one day) event the third week of January just north of Ocala, FL. Used to have a BBQ vendor who served pecan smoked pulled pork sandwiches but he was not there the last few. Used to go for the BBQ as much as the shoot. Fantastic scenery, and targets are set for family fun. A great group of folks putting it on too.
Get there early as they take up the targets as soon as they get a chance in early afternoon. Reminds me of those old time 2-D shoots along the creek banks where folks would drink a cup of coffee early in the morning, then get down to business, then the targets were picked up...but with kids and families enjoying it too. It does a lot to promite our sport as family friendly....so it's a real good'un.

I love shooting and building selfbows. I love getting together with other guys and gals that build and shoot selfbows even better. I haven't made it to all the meets I'd like to but Marshall Michigan Primitive Archery Meet is a must for my wife and I. It's a very nice place and the people are fantastic. Lots of Osage shavings made. Some really good bowyers sharing their abilities with anyone asking for it. A really nice 3-D course and lots of things for everyone in the family. Great place the buy or trade for all kinds of supplies. Not to big not to small. It is all natural materials shoot so that does limit the size but certainly not the quality of the meet.
I've meet Pappy at Elm Hall traditional shoot and would like to see him and his crew at Twin Oaks someday.
I've also meet a bunch of the guys from MoJam and promise I'll make it there someday to. Great bunch from there to.

My favorite competition course for the year was IBO Worlds, but Trad worlds was close second and much easier to hang out with people and more like minded shooters obviously.
Favorite fun shoot is tough cause i typically just do comps, but i heard ETAR was not to be missed. TAS was good fun for sure. Its def an organization im getting behind and supporting.
