Past Event Coverage
Iowa Traditional Bowhunters Society (ITBS) Annual Banquet
Saturday, March 15 2008 in Ames, IA at the Izaak Walton League. Indoor (and possibly outdoor) shooting in the morning along with a swap meet. A bowhunter forum, meal, meeting and auction are to follow in the afternoon and evening. I'm planning on attending (haven't been there before) so I'm looking forward to it. I should have pictures and narrative posted sometime afterward so people know what to expect if they want to go next year. If you are looking for more info on ITBS, you can find it at www.iowatbs.com.
Iowa Traditional Bowhunters Society (ITBS) Rendezvous
Saturday and Sunday, May 24 - 25 in Ames, IA at the Izaak Walton League. Unlimited 3D shooting on two courses for a total of about forty 3D targets (casual shooting). Organized shooting events include a Speed Shoot, the Seneca Run, and a Lob Shoot. Camping is available for those staying the weekend, and a good handful of archery shops attend to satisfy your shopping needs.
Wakarusa Valley Traditional Rendezvous '08
Saturday and Sunday, June 7 - 8 in Topeka, KS at T.H.E Archery Club (along the Wakarusa River). A bunch of friendly folks, with a challenging 3-D course and camping. Vendors and food booths were in attendance. Overall a very fun shoot to attend!
Rapids Archery Trad Shoot '08
Saturday and Sunday, June 14 - 15 in Coon Rapids, MN at the Rapids Archery Club in Bunker Hills Regional Park. This event is a popular shoot for archers in the upper midwest. The challenging course is different every year and the facilities are top notch. An excellent weekend trip.
