Lee - you going to Compton instead?
Deathwish will be back this year! Steve's daughter Shanda is making the bows and I hear they are top notch quality! Deathwish on facebooks shows some quality bows and other wood endevors. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the shoot!
The course is shaping up nicely. With the early spring warm up the the Poison Ivy Eradication Team has got a good jump on things. Last years efforts on "A" loop have produced fantastic results. There was virtually NO Ivy on the loop for our May 3-D. See You There :archer:
I've been to shoots all over the country and the Coon Rapids shoot is one of the best or the best. A beautiful course and great facilities. I wished they could put a couple of pictures of their building on here, its unbelievable . If you miss this one you will be missing a lot of fun !!!
This is the best thought out course in the nation, I believe. Much effort goes into setting the targets for the course. Looking forward to it again. Chad

Rapids Archery Club (http://www.rapidsarchery.net/#!our-ranges/c20hu)
My dad and I used to shoot the original field course at this park back when Fred Bear still held a controlling interest in the Bear Archery Company. In a perfect world, both of them would still be around to see what this club has accomplished, and my dad and I could shoot at this event together. Hoping to make it there in a couple of years on my own, in any event. Good luck to all who can this year!
I can't make it this year but it is a great shoot so I hope all those who can attend have a wonderful time.
The Rapids club does a great job with the course setup, vendors, and concessions. The Footed Shaft will be there again. We have attend all 25 of the the Rapids Trad Shoot. See ya there!

My son and I are looking forward to it, we have made it the last couple years. Fun shoot. I have a small pile of stuff I plan to bring down for the blanket trade.
Fun shoot as always. The toughest target was the peeing polar bear, couldn't stop laughing. Sold some stuff too!
Good shoot, would have been a great shoot if the African loop had been laid out a little better imo. kept looking back for richochets coming my way or arrows coming over the hill from the last target. Still good.
Thanks for the input. It well be taken under advisement.
