2011 Public 3D Shoot Schedule Concludes
Sunday, September 25 was the last public 3D shoot for the 2011 season! It was a great opportunity to get some realistic last-minute bowhunting practice before the 2011 Illinois Archery Deer Season Opener on October 1st. The 2012 3D public shoot schedule has yet to be announced, but keep in mind that it usually starts in late February with the "Frozen Toe Opener!"
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 find our annual shoot schedule online at http://www.bowsite.com and http://www.3dshoots.com.
2011 3D Shoot Results: Menard Archers public shoot scoring results are posted when made available at the end of each shoot by the event's Team Captain: Check out the recent Top Scores!
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.
