Title: Traditional resources in/near NC
Post by: NCRecurve on January 12, 2007, 01:50:00 PM

I'm in Raleigh North Carolina.  So far I've feed my desire to shoot different traditional bows by purchasing a used Bob Lee and Chek Mate.  I would really like to get to a shoot or a club where I could try several different brands of bows without having to purchase them.  Is there a decent size shoot/gathering near Raleigh NC or a traditional club nearby with people who wouldn't mind me trying their bow for a couple of shots?

Thanks,
Doug

Carolina Traditional Archers is around the Hickory/ Lincolnton area. If you don't mind a little bit of a drive the SCBA is having a traditional shoot at the rocks pond camp ground in Santee, SC Feb. 16,17,18. Bring your tent and come on were going to have a big time...   :campfire:

Dixie Bowmen in Prince George, Va has monthly shoots through May, and then several in the fall.  Trad only on Saturday, open shoot on Sunday.  Straight up I95, probably about 1 1/2 hr from Raleigh.    www.dixiebowmen.org (http://www.dixiebowmen.org)   is the web address, I think.  First shoot this year is Jan 20th.

Sissipahaw(not sure I spelled that right)Traditional Archers, near Burlington, has half a dozen or so trad-only shoots in the Apr-August timeframe. Maybe one of their members will chime in here.  Kevin Lawler, where are you?

Thanks Folks,
Sorry it took so long to get back to this thread.  I was trying to help my Dad get a winter turkey with his 12 gauge bow that goes boom.   ;)   I'll make some phone calls and keep an eye on the web sites for the upcoming shoots.  I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you in the future at some shoots.

Thanks,
Doug
