Bow Hunter League 2023
Winter Bow Hunter League 2023
Bow Hunter league will begin on Tuesday, January 10th, 2023 at the indoor range and will run each week (on Tuesdays) for 12 consecutive weeks. We will start the 3D setup at 6:30 PM and begin shooting at 7:00 PM. We typically are finished shooting around 8:30 PM, depending on how many archers we have.
Registration: Bow Hunter League registration will be completed by either a call, text,
or email to Branson Tolliver. email: branson_t@hotmail.com or call/text (605) 491-2050. TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEAR'S BOW HUNTER LEAGUE, YOU OR A REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR TEAM MUST PRE-REGISTER BY WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4th, 2024.
IF YOU DO NOT PRE-REGISTER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHOOT IN THIS YEAR'S
LEAGUE AS WE NEED AN ACCURATE COUNT TO MAKE FINAL PLANS.
Team Format: This league uses teams of 3 shooters. If you do not have a team, we will pair you up on the first night. Please do not be discouraged to sign up if you do not have a partner or full team as many of us started out in the league without any partners. If you already have a 3- person team, please designate 1 team member to register your entire team. If you are a single shooter or you do not have a 3- person team we will add you to a team at the first night of shooting. (We often have single shooters and incomplete teams so again, please don't hesitate to register if you plan on shooting.) Our plans and format may be subject to change and we appreciate your participation, input, and patience.
Shooting Format: Shooters will shoot 12 Rinehart 3D targets each night. Teams will shoot from 6 stations, 2 targets per station, 2 arrows per target (you will need a minimum of 4 arrows but more is highly recommended as arrows are occasionally damaged during shooting). Teams will typically alternate shooting 1 station then retrieve arrows, then a break for the next team to shoot and retrieve arrows, then shoot the next station........the Scoring is 10-8-5.
Price: The cost is $40 per Adult shooter (18 and older), $20 for youth ages 12-17. Cash or Check
Payment is due on the first night of shooting (If you are not able to attend the 1st night, please have
one of your team members pay for you). SHOOTERS MUST BE CURRENT MINNEHAHA
ARCHERS CLUB MEMBERS. If you have Minnehaha Archers (MAI) bucks from assisting at work parties, you can apply these towards your fee. You must be a current club member to participate. We can set up new memberships or renewals on the first night if needed.
On the first night of league, we ask if everyone could try to arrive by 6 PM to leave extra time to get our targets organized, create teams, and get everyone paid up
for the year.
We ask that everyone tries to show up on a weekly basis by 6:30 to assist in setting up the targets
for the week and if they could stick around to help tear down the targets and get them put away
for the week.
The awards for the league will be determined during the league.
There are no make ups or shooter substitutions. It is okay to miss a week occasionally as the computer will generate a score for the week and will give you a point deduction for not being present.
We will post the scores from each week on the bulletin board at the range and on Facebook
following each Tuesday evening shoot (except for the first and final nights).
Shooters are required to participate at their own risk!
If you have any questions, please contact Branson Tolliver: 605-491-2050
Thank you everyone and we look forward to seeing you come out on Tuesday nights
for bowhunter
league this winter!
