Weezy, I'm from up by Spfld, but there are some down in your area.  If you can make it to Rend Lake May 15-16, there will be a bunch.  I'll PM with more info.  Rick

Fellas, I live in Wayne City, which is a little east of Mt. Vernon. As Fletcher mentioned We have an event at Rend Lake every year. I am the region 5 rep for the UBI and we sponsor a Bowfish and BBQ Bash there every year in May. Anyone interested in the event or the UBI can email me or Fletcher for details. We have a great time and good food.

hey Bill:
Is the event at rend lake just bowfishing or is there a 3d shoot along with it?
not much into bowfishing myself. been there and done that years ago and just didn't care much for it ; but that's just me; i know others enjoy it.
outdoor dan:
If I can remember I'll shoot you an e-mail before the sparta shoot. It will probabaly be around 11:30 am when we go. I'm usually working; but will take off early. Maybe we'll see you there.

Weezy,
  The event is mostly a get together of trad shooters that enjoy BS'ing around camp, some great food, and bowfishing. It is family oriented so everyone can bring the whole family.
