We’ve put together a casual 6 week warmup “league” to help everyone get their hunting rigs out, tuned up, and ready to go. Nothing too serious. No full-blown league rankings, just something for bragging rights. It’s a great reason to get out to the club, shoot your hunting setup, and have some fun and friendly competition while you prep for the season with other like minded club members.

For more information email or text Jon Dagle at [email protected] or 224-432-3692

Pre-register by dropping $35 cash or check in the white box in the clubhouse near the bathrooms. Just make sure you note it's for the Hunter Warm-Up.

No Foam happens when you take the DAIR 3D paper target face out onto the field course. This shoot will put both your target shooting skills AND the hunting instincts you rely on out in the field to the test.

Literally NO FRILLS at this one. No lunch, no cash payout. Just show up and shoot, have fun and learn how it works.

The NFAA proudly honors Randall “Randy” Rutledge (Warrenville, Illinois) with the 2025 Member of the Year award, recognizing more than five decades of unwavering service to the sport of archery. Randy has served as an instructor, coach, judge, competitor, tournament organizer, and mentor, always with a focus on helping others succeed.

A driving force in the Chicagoland archery community, Randy has played a critical role in organizing and sustaining local, state, and national events, while also bringing clubs together to strengthen participation across the region. His behind the scenes leadership has helped ensure the long standing success of major competitions and the continued growth of NFAA sanctioned events.

Equally impactful is Randy’s personal approach. Known for his patience, encouragement, and depth of knowledge, he has guided countless archers at every level. As one nominator shared, “No one gives more freely of their time, experience, and encouragement. He has shaped the journeys of countless archers throughout our region and beyond. Personally, without Randy’s mentorship and support, I would not be part of the archery community today.”

In a reflection of his character and commitment to the future of the sport, Randy chose to donate his $200 Member of the Year award credit to the NFAA scholarship fund, continuing his legacy of giving back.
