We'll be traveling down from Duluth for the first time. Anybody else camping out? It'd be nice to meet some fellow Trad Gangers!

I'll be there on Sunday with my son,  along with my hunting buddy and his boy too!

Great shoot and I can't think of a better way to spend part of Father's Day!

Will have a vendor table this year with new and used archery gear---an Elk Ridge Archery Pilgrim  20# @ 24inches---maybe a Blacktail bow???  Leather goods--knives new and used--flint knapping   stuff--other assorted useful outdoor stuff---and I'll have to find time to shoot!

Weather Forecast is pretty good.  Looking forward to having a good time!

We're in campsite #10 if anybody feels like stopping in. It'd be nice to meet some folks on here and get the SOP for the weekend.

Kudos to the people behind the scenes of this year's Coon Rapids Traditional Shoot - they put on one-heckuva-shoot!!
Son and I went early Saturday, we thoroughly enjoyed our day - the course, the vendors, the displays/demos, and the people!
We make it a point to get there every year and they don't disappoint - well done!

Was there on Sunday. Talked to Tim from Kota bows. Ended up leaving thinking about a Kill um he had. Called him today and now it's mine. The shoot was awesome. The ranges were set up so nice. Lots of real cool shots. My hats off to the people who put it together, great job guys. On my do list for next year!!!!!

First post I have made here in a long time. I went on Sunday bow shopping and spoke with most of the vendors and had a wonderful time. Was not able to find a bow that I could not live without but as I said it was a great time.

Was there on Sunday (as per the post above) - beautiful weather, excellent ranges, great people, good food too!

Spoke with Chad for a while about his bows, I've been eyeing up a River Runner for some time.

He spent a fair bit of time making recommendations (to other bowyers) for kids bows as my buddy's son is growing fast and will be going through a few bows before slowing down on growing enough to settle on one bow for a bit.

Thanks Chad - and to everyone there who puts together such a great shoot!

First time going to this shoot and not working behind these scenes.  Very relaxing weekend shooting and meeting up with old friends!

Results now posted at  www.rapidsarchery.net

Many people do NOT turn in score cards, thanks to those that do.

As a vendor this year I was only able to shoot the western loop (20 targets)  really enjoyed the set up!

As first time vendor I was able to get a different perspective on the shoot, talk to a lot of people, enjoyed the weekend for sure!

It may be because I'm using my phone, but I don't see the link to the scores anywhere on the site. Anybody else having this issue or just me?

Really bummed I couldn't make it this year.  One of the few great Midwest shoots.

Kromer the link is on the first page of the website.  The link opens  up and excell doc.  You'll have to see if  you can open that kind of doc on your phone.

Hope that helps.
