Public 3D Shoots: Approximately 8 public 3D shoots are held each year. Adults are $12, kids 14 and under shoot free! Gates open at 7 am, and registration closes at 1 pm. Traveling from out-of-town? Make it a fun weekend and stay at the RiverBank Lodge in Petersburg, which has a "hunting lodge" decorating theme. Please note that you can also find our annual shoot schedule online at http://www.bowsite.com .
Crossbow Participants Welcome: Due to the increased popularity of crossbows for deer hunting, a crossbow competition category has been established for our club shoots. Crossbows are now legal in Illinois for deer hunting by hunters age 62 and older, in addition to previously eligible younger hunters who have received a disability permit from the IDNR. We hope that this encourages some grandparents to return to the sport of archery and take a grandchild to one of our 3D shoots! Note: Crossbow archers will shoot from the yellow (Special Equipment) stakes.
Directions: The club is located approximately 1.5 miles south of Petersburg, IL. From State Route 97, turn west on South Shore Drive (at the north edge of New Salem State Park) and follow the signs. Click Here for Driving Directions & Map!
