There is an indoor 3d range that opened recently here in york called Extreme archery. I was talking with the owner Nate(NOT ME) and hit him with the idea of a traditional only shoot with the guys who live around the area. if anyone is interested let me know and i can get something set up.
thanks,
Nate

That'd be cool. I grew up in that neighborhood

I would give it a try.
Thanks, Randy

It's winter. How about a location in "York". Kinda a hoof from Litiz area. :)
Hey, Ric1959, you know Peckerwood over there? Now if you could drag him along over...I'd have to make the haul, Lord willin. He's a hoot!

Do they still make barbells in York, Pa?
My dad bought an Olympic set directly from York for me and my brothers in 1968. I've still got it. It makes the present-day Asian stuff look like junk.
(It's a traditional barbell) :)

Doc Nock, I am friends with Peckerwood . I think he is off chasing wild hogs with his ACS somewhere. Take care , Randy

I'm down that way a bit, got a bud who lives in Abbottstown; we shoot the DART range over at Deer Valley. We're talking about hitting the range you're talking about this weekend.
-
If my new widow comes in by then, count me in.
-
lost arra,
They still make em here. You are definitly right about the quality. We have some at my gym that might be 25 years old and still look good
-
I'm in. I've shot there one time and it's a nice range and I had fun.
-
Alright guys, I am going to try to get something set up for the weekend of the 27th. I will keep you all posted.
-
Nate,
I would try to make it to that one.

I'm a member of Baltimore Bowmen and would be very interested. I think that a couple of other guys from down here would try to make that one as well. Keep us posted

One other thought....You might want to post this on the Trad Events section of the forum. Also do you think the shoot will be Saturday or Sunday ?
-
I should have a time and date for shooting tonight and will post it tomorrow morning. I am thinking about Saturday 2/27 around 11AM. Just a fun shoot around and everybody can put faces with names and such
-
Sounds good Nate ! Love to get to shoot some foam . I'll look for the Info tomorrow.

Good morning Guys. I talked with Nate at extreme last night and he has everything set up for March 7th. Could not do the 27th of Feb. That is a sunday and we can start around noon. He said he will try to have some prizes to give away also have some fun stuff to shoot at like floating ping pong balls and stuff like that. So mark it down and pass the word. You can PM me with any questions also my cell # is 717-779-6778.
See you then,
Nate

Thanks for the info Nate. Sunday will work better some of my friends anyway. May have to go up and check the place out beforehand ( read practice ).

Hey guys, just found the thread. Should think bout postin it in the trad events. I think it may get seen more. The shoot sounds fun to me.
I think I am going in the a.m. to check the place out and work on tuning a bow too.

I went there last night . Nice place ! the 3D targets are in very good condition and the shots are reasonable distances for stick bows. That does not mean easy. Some of the shots are wide open , but several are very tight ( trees or other targets very close to the path to the vital area ). They were having a ping pong ball shoot last night.$ 1.00 for 2 shots at balls floating on air at about 23 yds. To get in the drawing for the money you have to pin the ball to the bag target behind it. I decided to have a whack at it just for fun. I took 4 shots and hit the ping pong ball twice , but neither shot actually penetrated the ball.I took 2 more shots and both were close but neither hit the little floating ball.
I will try to be there on the 7th.

Ike, wish I had known that. I would have went. That sounds like fun.
