It is Spring time in Michigan. The flowers are blooming, and it is a great time
to play with your bow and arrows in the woods. Shooting a bow is not just for October
White Tail deer hunting. This is the time you need to shoot to get the confidence
you will need to make the shot. You will know you can because you will have done
it before at Flint Bowmen. Even if you are not a hunter, it is time to have fun
in the woods!
Our first outdoor 3-D shoot of the year will be Saturday, April 14, 9 AM-5 PM and
Sunday, April 15, 9AM-3 PM. Ed’s Archery of Clio is sponsoring this shoot with the
much of the proceeds from this going to help support the “Wounded Warriors.” At
least 10 bows will be given away this weekend, and over $1000. in prizes given away
to people who just pay for the shoot! A person’s skill does not matter in this shoot.
When you join a league you know you will shoot your bow at least one day a week.
The Spring Outdoor 3-D League starts Tuesday, April 17. Shooters can begin shooting
at 10 AM, and as long as they get in the woods by 7 PM, they will finish before dark.
This league offers three adult stakes to challenge everyone’s abilities, and it
will get hunters ready to go after the Whitetails in the Fall. We have two kids’
stakes, so this is a perfect time to get the family in the woods together. We also
off a beginner stake for people who have just started shooting a bow. All of the
shooters get to shoot at 14 3-D animal targets. At the end of this league, we will
have a banquet where trophies will be given out and everyone who shoots in this league
will win a prize.
If you can’t commit to shooting every week, you can shoot the Spring 3-D League as
an “Open” Shooter. This means the scores don’t count toward any trophies, but you
still get the opportunity to hone your skills for the upcoming hunting season.
