I've never been to a tradional shoot,but want to. Anybody here know of any in Oregon, or Washington (south west perfered).
Try contacting your state organization, Traditional Archers of Oregon, for info on shoots and events if no one responds.
Keep in mind that the Western States Rendezvous will be held in Washington this near on the Baker Ranch near Packwood. The WSR is held over the long Memorial Day weekend in late May and is primarily made up of trad archers from OR, WA, ID, and CA. There will be lots of vendors and guest speakers and 3 courses of 3-D. Everyone is invited of course.
The TAO website is down at this time.
Besides the WSR that Blackhawk mentioned...
There's the P&Y Shoot near Brownsville at the end of July.
mid-June there's a Trad only shoot near LaGrande.
Let's not forget the Moses Lake Rock Shoot in April! Dates are still shown as TBA. I'm really hoping that the next Trad. Bowhunters of WA newletter has the year's shoot schedule in it. Usually does.
Elktalker... rattle my cage in about a month or so. I should have my yearly schedule together and I'll pop you a copy. Lots and lots of good shoots in the NW if you don't mind some modest driving to get to them.
Thanks Guys, Dick I'll be talking with you soon.
You'll see lots of great stuff at the TAO banquet in Silverton come January 30th. It'll pump you up and maybe answer your question more completely!

Traditional Bowhunters of Washington has their annual rendevouz the first full weekend in August. Have not heard yet where it is to be held this year. The last 4 years or so it has been held at the Baker ranch near Packwood. Same place Blackhawk mentioned the Western State Traditional Rendevouz to be held.
So is there a place where all the shoots are posted I'd like to attend a few also. Thanks for asking Elktalker
Art, look under the "Trad Events" Forum. Won't be long before a Mod moves this one there, I'm sure.
For Washington shoots look at the TBW website http://tbwonline.org/Events%20Calendar/tbwevents.htm
