I've missed several Rapids Trad Shoots on and off the last couple of years.  Family happenings and all.   Looking forward to this year for sure!    Might have a couple of knives to sell/trade.   Maybe even a Pack Idaho piece of history.  Could use a little sewing repair but still serviceable.  See you all there!

It should be a great time. I have only missed one that was last year. So I am looking forward to getting back with the gang. I have an
 old style Cabela's Alaknak 12' x 12' tent that I am going to be selling.

Well kept secret you have there. We shot the Cloverdale, IN course on Friday and the Coon Rapids course on Saturday and Sunday. We really enjoy hunting and shooting with our traditional bows.   Usually just us now that the children are grown. Somehow Coon Rapids was one of the shoots we had missed over the years.  Unbelievable facility and courses.  The targets were in great shape. The trails well marked. It was fantastic weekend shooting two fantastic courses

Being very allergic to poison ivy, I've avoided this shoot for many years. They did have a lot sprayed but missed a lot too. I was careful to watch for it and ended up with just a very small amount on my arm.

I will agree with Witherstick, nice course and facility. Many new targets and all the rest were in good shape. I do plan to make this one again next year.
