We go to a lot of shoots every year and each has a flavor of its own. The PINE RIVER REC STICKBOW SHOOT in Elm Hall, MI is the best "hunters" shoot bar none. We look forward to it every year. Elm Hall kicks off a frantic month for stickbow shooters here in Michigan. We have shoots on successive weekends for an entire month. Pine River, GLLI, Tomahawk, and Lapeer. You get home just long enough to wash your underwear and then its back at camp for another round of great fun!!

I’ve never attended this event, so I have some questions. Are there vendors set up selling? Is there a trading blanket? Are there nearby motels and restaurants? How many targets? And anything else you’d like to add.

A few vendors, lots of tailgaters, no trade blanket that I know of but lots of trading going on, Not sure on motels but sure their are some in Alma MI. which is pretty close, just a few miles. Usually about 50 targets on 2 ranges and 15 or so on the broad head range. No competition so shoot all you want, also a brat cook Friday night and big supper Saturday night for all that register, 1 price for all, not sure on the price but i think last year it was 35/40 $ for all weekend.no fee to camp, Hope you can make it, it is a fun weekend.Maybe someone from the club will come on with more info, I am just a guy that has went for 20+ years so kind of know the ropes (: Pappy

Damon, we set up a pop up shelter for several years to build under and generate some self bow attention. It didn't catch on, so we quit setting it up. It's a hardcore glass crowd and the interest in wood bows is near zero. For several years we would harvest elm from the club land and then build a bow for the next year to auction off. That didn't work out either. We couldn't raise $100 per bow if we tried and there were some damn fine bows for auction from some well known names. Oh well, we tried! :)

….a little more trivia from this weekend in Elm Hall: there is nothing grumpy about Grumpy Jim; Dick, local Root bow collector and historian, found a $100 bill in the parking lot…it was returned to its owner with no fanfare; there are days of the week when Pappy doesn’t wear bibs; lucky for Pappy his wife didn’t know the difference between a Corvair and a Corvette…or if she did, he’s still a very lucky guy! Salt of the earth and we are surrounded by these people! Make it a great day!

Thanks to Rocky and all the fine guys from the Elm Hall club for the food and friendship they provided. Herbie it was great seeing you and I did hear something about a Coconut and grove of trees but I guess I was to busy shooting and having a good time that I missed it. I think this is my favorite shoot of the year. Hope everyone had a great time, I can’t wait for next year. Kurt
