SUMMARY:Catron County 3D Archery Shoot
DESCRIPTION:This 3-D archery shoot will consist of approximately 15 targets set up around the perimeter of the Apache Creek Campground north of Reserve. Participants are allowed to bring their own bows and arrows\, or they may borrow arrows and recurve bows from the Department of Wildlife. Participants will be shooting field-tipped arrows. Targets will range from 10-60 yards and each target will have a backstop to prevent arrows from traveling further distances. With enough participants\, divisions may be created based on equipment\, age and gender\, and other short bow-shooting competitions may take place with prizes awarded. The U.S. Forest Service may also be present with a booth or equipment of their own. \nThis event is meant to foster community relations and provide opportunity for the residents of Catron County\, but the event is open to anyone. \nRegistration will take place the morning of June 27. If there are enough participants\, there will be six divisions: Men’s Open; Women’s Open; Youth Open; Men’s Traditional/NASP; Women’s Traditional/NASP; and Youth Traditional/NASP.
