Hello Fellow Archers, Just 10 days to go until the Archery Wild kicks off...... and this is an event like no other!
It’s a unique archery format designed to entertain the adventurous and not so adventurous archers. There is a single 35-target course that weaves its way through the 400 acres of the Pine Ridge Archery Club and passes the clubhouse twice where food and drinks will be available all day.
Equipment rules for the Wild are simple: no broadheads and no crossbows. Everything else is in. The target distances will not be marked but bring your rangefinders, rangefinding sights and binos. Despite the lack of scoring there will be an abundance of spot prizes to be won at the end of the day by just being there. It’s as simple as that!
Some of the shots will be tough, very tough, so bring plenty of arrows. The good news is though, there is no scoring. That’s right, none of the arrows are scored so if you want to laser the target or move a little closer you can.
After the Wild there will be some challenge shoots at the club house for prizes:
100 Yard Shot – hit the kill zone and go into the draw.
The Broadhead Challenge – Each round the safe zone gets smaller and smaller until it is down to the closest broadhead wins. Must be fixed blades, min size 1” diameter
Steel Boar – Each round the kill zone get smaller, last archer standing wins
The Archery Wild Trail will be a great event for hunters to give their gear a good test and kick off some practice over summer before heading out in the Roar. For club archers, the event will be something very different to what you are used to.
Entries are piling in and we would like to have things finalised by mid-next week. There's a lot of admin that needs to be done ahead of Sunday, plus getting the famous Pine Ridge catering just right!
