According to the club's Facebook page, their shoot (criminally underrated in my and many other's book) is back on for this year :clapper: Usually it is THEE weekend right after the Baltimore shoot. So between that and it being the "first weekend of Summer" and folk's holiday weekend plans, attendance is not what it could be. Welp...this year the Baltimore shoot is slated for May 14, 15 & 16 and the Greencastle shoot is set for TWO weeks later on May 28, 29, 30 & 31.

So if you have the time and inclination, this shoot is one to be greatly enjoyed!

I agree. Man what a place for a big rendezvous. Lots of land.

We used to shoot that every year when it was the Mark Misdom Memorial Shoot back in the 70's and 80's.

We have enjoyed this shoot many times, an Hope to Agin

I will be there with bells on love this shoot. Widow

Looking forward to finally attending attending this one. Thanks for all that information Craig.

This is a great shoot. Looking forward to it again!

Steve

Drive on In, yes one of the Best Shoots

where is it? do it be in america?

Greencastle Pa. north of Hagerstown Md off I-81

thanks a possibility 3 1/2 hours

It is a fun one. Lots of shooting and small crowds.

Club House and parking , spacious

Guys...quit promoting this gig. Its perfect the way it is:^)

And don't mention the excellent camping and monster bass in the lake!

Ben mentioned a lot but still never grows. And that is fine too.

Bob, you have all the competition you need;) And yes this is a great shoot put on by a really nice crew.

Hawkeye. I'm telling you now, the kids going down!!!

And tell him I ain't coaching his scrawny butt during the grocery shoot:^)

Loved that shoot!

One of my favorites.

Yea I might need to hit this one. Missed alot of you guys at North Montours.

Yep you are doing Too Much Smoking in Pa. Jason

Too much working! When will I ever have time to try all of your bows Wayne?

Far better than Baltimore with little crowds

This is a fun shoot! But they do a woefully bad job of promoting it! From what I understand they do not want a big crowd? Which I guess is their prerogative? This thing should realistically be the size of Baltimore! Just don't get it?

John , the club members are money people, they take care of the club very well, and don’t need too big of crowds. But some are archery people too.

Jason, I had 3 different bows for you to shoot at the last shoot , I know what you mean about to much work, = $$$$$$ and no time to enjoy it.

Very nice set-up with a variety of targets in great shape.

Here's some pics I took in 2016. What a beautiful facility! Re: attendance; one of the ladies there has told me multiple times in the past that with the amount of help they have with the event, it's about as big as they want it.

Something about that deer doesnt seem right. That sure looks like a nice place!

Great shoot...plan on going. >>————————->

That is a great shoot at a beautiful club. Enjoy it guys. Hopefully I’ll be in Maine chasing turkeys then. Jim

Its bad enough that when I shoot with Darren I'm in constant fear of being killed when his bow blows up but if he is going to start wearing bells I'm going to have to find a new shooting buddy.

Ha Ha you are just jealous of the Widow a bow your Northern mist will never be. Widow

Is camping free? I always just went up for the day, but that lake and camping looked sweet!

Greg, yes, the camping is free.

MikeT, it's a fallow deer but you knew that, right?

Great targets

Is it legal to fish that lake without a PA fishing license? I'd love to get my boy into a bass or panfish.

two4...If he is under 16 he is good to fish. We'll get him into fishing. We'll be camped up at the pavilion by the lake. Just stop in and ask for me.

And. I have been recruited to help with (new this year) novelties. We are doing a Eagle Eye for half the take $$ from qualifying.

A Iron Man shoot for half the entry $$.

And another, which I am gonna try to get a floating ping pong ball shoot for half the entry money.

Thanks, he is 8.

Big Catfish, yum. That would feed a bunch,

Bob, your going to be out fished X2:)

Is there a web page or contact info here, or did I miss it.

Terry Harris

Yes, greencastlesportsmans.com. You haven’t missed it Yet. T

Looks like Im 50:50 due to unforeseen circumstances. Im very excited to debut the 2 new PAW bows. If not this weekend then PLA shoot next?

Family stuff and, admittedly, not the best forecast will probably keep me from camping from Friday afternoon on. But I plan on driving up to shoot for sure as I'm only about an hour- ish away in western Maryland.

Imma be there shooting a new longbow so if you find any arrows they will be mine

J.R. Any arra we finds is yours?????

JR I posted a reply on the Green Castle thread about all arrows lost being yours. It was in jest as I'm taking quite a few to the shoot that have one 3D shoot experience.

After rereading my post it could be taking different ways and I meant no harm. Takecare, Jeff

PS Will you be staying for the grocery shoot?

No worries Hawkeye. Some people have no since of humor. I am not one of em. When is the grocery shoot. I’m a go to their website

You ladies and gentlemen of Pennsylvania are very fortunate with two fantastic traditional shoots this Memorial Day weekend. The closest traditional shoot to me this weekend has only 40 targets over a very flat course. Plus, my Wife and I could shoot either of the traditional shoots in Pennsylvania for less than one of us could shoot at the traditional shoot in our own State.

Seems if you put certain words in the name of your shoot you can have very little to offer and charge way over the norm. Probably why those types of shoots get so little attention and turnout is limited to just those who fall for the hype.

We will likely go to an open shoot instead of the traditional shoot here. The open shoot is over varying terrain and only $12. A 9 hour drive to Greencastle is a bit much for a weekend. Tempting to make the 6 hour drive to Franklin though.

See you all there! Taking my two young boys. Should be plenty of puddles to play in!

yea looked like 70% rain for Saturday?

was thinking a day trip?

Yep. Day trip.

Hoping the rain isn’t too bad. Looking forward to another good shoot.

Steve

Camper is loaded and hooked to the truck. Pulling out at 0600. Bringing about a dozen bows to sale.

RAIN

RAIN is right! Fellow forum member Tundra and myself (he's a club member and lives pretty local; I'm only an hour away in western MD) were coming to shoot today like we usually do but then decided on Sunday. And then Sunday went from dry-ish to cool and wet. Now we're gonna get there around 0830-0900 Monday and shoot till noon or a little after.

For the price, you can't beat this shoot with it's beautiful grounds, high quality targets and friendly folks. I just wish three of the three and a half days weren't so damp and dreary this year!

pouring here in VA

whats happening up there ?

? rain all day here, how did it go up there

No rain while I was there

Didn’t rain on us, either.

Steve

Another GREAT shoot, Thanks crew! (and Sue also) We had seven in our group and good time was had by all. Jeff

Monday was the best day weather wise for sure. We shot the entire course today an it was perfect weather sunny a little warm but not bad after the cool weather. Great course again the staff does a fantastic job. Enjoyed the day with good friends.

Tundra

Agreed Tundra! Fantastic weather today, even if only for the half day that remained. The staff at Greencastle Sportsmen are some great folks and really put on a fantastic shoot. Hopefully next year I'll end up camping like I threatened to this year! I think I look forward to this shoot almost as much as any of the others in the MD/PA states.

Poor pup didn't stand a chance...

I can just hear the joke starting something like this: "A carp, a croc and a BIG bullfrog walk into a bar..."

And a beautiful day it was...almost too pretty to believe after the weather we had from early afternoon Friday and on.

I’m always amazed at the small crowds. Man what a place for a shoot like Denton Hill.

Their is No substitute for GreenCastle a very fine Shoot, and the Club’s Fire Works was Pretty good Too.

Even with perfect weather, the Memorial Day weekend timing makes it tough for a lot of people to attend. They have family things and trips planned. That's mainly why I had to stop going.
