Updated Info for this Sunday's Shoot
Chickasaw Archery Club’s
Bowhunter Challenge
August 20th, 2006
Chickasaw Archery Club is hosting a 3D shoot exclusively for bowhunters. 30 targets set in scenarios that you might find while hunting in KY with a bow and arrow, at distances that you’d actually shoot. Targets will consist of Reinhart whitetail deer, elk, turkey, bobcats, and coyotes and just because of all the reports of recent sightings in the state, a mountain lion or two. We will shoot down in hollows, up hillsides, through tight spots, from ground blinds, and off platforms.
We will also be hosting an outdoorsman’s yard sale. Bring out your new or used gear that you don’t use and put it on display to sell. Like they say, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. This yard sale will be held indoors inside the clubhouse.
In addition to the 3D shoot and the yard sale we will have novelty shoots, 50/50 jackpot shoots, and door prizes provided by archery hunting organizations and retailers.
Classes for the shoot will include:
Hunter Novice- This class is for those new to 3D shooting and/or hunting or those who are just getting back into the sports. Sandbagging won’t happen so don’t go there! Only true novice shooters in this class please.

Open Equipment Shooters are welcome to come and shoot the course, however there will be no classes or awards available for those who use this equipment. Sorry but this one will be all about the bowhunters!
Trophies will be awarded to each class that has 7 or more shooters, All Cub’s will get participation medals, and Youth will get Trophies regardless of numbers.
Sign-ups 8:00 am to 2:00 pm
All Classes will be limited to the use of hunting type equipment. Stabilizers must not exceed 12” from the point of attachment and all tips must be screw in or glue on field points. There is no restriction on fletching length due to the popularity of new smaller “Broadhead” vanes. Please, NO BROADHEADS!
Our goal is to provide a realistic practice setting for bowhunters to test out their hunting set-ups and skills prior to the September 2nd Archery Season opener as well as to introduce hunters not familiar to 3D archery, to a game that offers opportunity for year round honing of archery hunting skills. In addition we want to promote archery and especially hunting in our community. It would be a blessing to see as many youth, women, and seniors come out to join us at this event. We especially welcome kids who are involved in the NASP (National Archery in Schools Program) and 4H. Our environment will be family friendly and no lewd behavior, crude language, nor consumption of alcoholic beverages will be tolerated. Having FUN with archery is what its all about!
