I've heard it gets pretty wet.  Lots of mud and such.  Anyone been there to know for sure?

While it seems like the rain likes to fall during the Cloverdale shoot, the course and grounds get no muddier than any other shoot I have been to.

No one can control if it is going to rain at any shoot. I have attended most of the major shoots at one time or another and they all get muddy after a rain. You get that many people having fun on any club grounds, it is going to get soupy.

I feel Cloverdale sets the best course of ANY club I have ever been to. The only time I miss that shoot is when it just cant be avoided.

Best range you'll ever shoot, period!  Over 200 animals set in scenarios over the 40 target course.  Nobody else that I know does that.  The shots all have some sort of back stop so you don't lose arrows or wait forever for those who do.  There are lots of vendors as well as blanket swaps.  Food available on the grounds. Man I can't wait for Cloverdale every year--hard to believe you Indiana guys haven't been.  I drive from West Virginia but used to live in Madison, Indiana.  That was over 25 years ago and I sure miss it to this day--still feels like I'm "back home again in Indiana" every time I go there.   :)

Post by: gregk on May 19, 2010, 11:05:00 PM
I am looking forward to going, never been before, hopefully they dont set the targets 30-40 yards for the trad shooters like i have found at alot of 3-D shoots.  :pray:
Title: Re: Cloverdale
Post by: Fletcher on May 19, 2010, 11:20:00 PM
The Feathered Shaft will be there, too.  

No worries, Greg.  The courses are set by stick shooters for stick shooters who are looking to have fun.  There will be some shots to separate the men from the boys, but all will be reasonable.

There is no question that you should go.  Bring your kids.  If they don't have a bow, look for the Kid's Bow Giveaway.  It'll be somewhere around the vendor's area.

Title: Re: Cloverdale
Post by: lil jake on May 20, 2010, 11:59:00 AM
and does anyone know how the coring goes this year? cuz i liked it last year how they had the real world shoot (u either git a 5 or a zero)friday saturday and the accuall scoring sunday (5,8,10,or 11)
Title: Re: Cloverdale
Post by: Mike Bolin on May 20, 2010, 09:13:00 PM
According to the website, there is no longer a "real world" shoot, just the big shoot. It now starts on Friday and there are 50 targets now instead of 40. Scoring is 5 for any killing shot and 0 for a body hit or a miss. Great shoot and I am really looking forward to it (as usual). On Memorial Day weekend, Cloverdale has their Spring Bear Shoot......40 bear targets and it too is a blast. It is an open shoot, but most of the shooters will be traditional shooters. Mike

Whitetail Nut, (Josh) Love my Striker! I'll have it at Cloverdale you'll have to give me a holler and we'll get together up there. I ordered a one piece recurve from Rick but won't have it until September. I took my first Trad bird this spring with my Striker.
