Post by: Schultzy on January 11, 2009, 09:56:00 AM
I see there's a few of you around. Where ya all from If you don't mind saying? What traditional shoots do you all hit?

As for myself I'm about 40 miles south of St.Cloud. The last 3 years I've been going to the Traditional shoot In Coon Rapids, hell of a shoot!

I always have the Coon Rapids shoot on the calendar. Whether I make it down from Ely on that weekend is another story. They do an unbelieveable job putting that shoot together. David

Brainerd.  On Feb, 7th some people from the traditional bowhunters of Mn site are gathering at my place for a bunny hunt and to work on projects in my shop.  
I have to be honest though I haven't found a good spot for bunnies yet.  Chad

Just started with Traditional this year, but I'm Rochester.  Looks like there are a number of shoots I'll have to make it to this summer.

From Brooklyn Park. Shoot Coon Rapids, Rochester (if I'm not Turkey Hunting). Liked the shoot at the Isanti Sportsman's Club and the one over at the Chilakoot Bowhunters, but both of those clubs no longer have a Traditional shoot;(
Do a lot of shooting up at the range in the Elm Creek Park system up in Dayton, MN.

From Forest Lake. Lat year I shot Sparta, WI, Rochester, Coon Rapids, Lakeville, Solon Springs, WI, Prairie Farm, WI. All fine shoots but the layout at Rochester was outstanding.

Palisade. I have not made it to a formal shoot yet. I am hoping to make Coon Rapids this year.

I'm in mankato. We no longer have any shoots here.  
I have only missed three trad shoots at coon rapids. I have shot the rochester and lakeville trad shoot a few times. It's been a while but I used to hit shoots in austin, faribault, and medford.

S.E.MN, Rochester and Coon Rapids are about the only two I shoot anymore. After 40 years most of them look the same.

Anybody close enough to the Stillwater/Somerset area interested in a indoor spot league later this winter?  Chilakoot is thinking of starting one, would be 1 night week for 6 weeks.  PM me if interested. There will be a meeting in the next few weeks to finalize the details.

We could also use a few more trad guys for the summer outdoor league too.  Be nice to have more than one to show those training wheel dudes how effective a stick and string can be.  I have room on my 4 person team for 1 right now.

Frisky Byron was a much better shoot than Dodge center, they are not very far apart and of course Rochester was tops.

Robhood thanks for the PM, That would be me.  I will be back this summer, just don't know the dates yet.

In Hugo here.  MAT, I love the chilakoot club, but unfortunately I'm recovering from surgery so can't join league this year.

Do you know if they will have a trad shoot there this year ?  

Rochester shoot is a highlight as of course the coon rapids shoot is.
Isanti sportsmens club had an excellent trad shoot also, but I think they gave it up.
