Title: Anyone in Upstate SC?
Post by: PeteTschantz on January 15, 2007, 09:24:00 AM

Hello all. I'm just getting started, I'm going to get some arrows, glove, arm guard etc this week.

I'm hoping to find someone in the Upstate SC / Charlotte, NC area who might be interested in mentoring a newbie. I live in York County, just south of Charlotte, but I have no problem driving an hour to get some pointers.

Thanks, Pete

Pete,
If you get down to the lowcountry, I'd be glad to sling some arras with you.  Good luck.

Pete:
  I am in Simpsonville. Probably more than an hour drive but I would be more than glad to help out if I could. I hunt around Cross Keys about 15 miles out of Union, might could meet up there some time and shoot a few stumps.
 Duckbutt: My daughter is going to collage in Charleston, any where to shoot when I'm down that
 way visiting? Thinking of coming down in a couple of weeks for a long weekend to visit her and, maybe fish a little.

Pete,
 
I'm over here in Greer just inside Spartanburg County. Give me a hollar and we can get together sometime. I've got a buddy that has some targets set up on his property that lives just a few miles from me. He and I go to as many 3D shoots as we can.

Pete,    The Carolina Traditional Archers had our first shoot this past weekend. The club shoots in Maiden, NC, which is about 1 hour from Rock Hill. There were 42 shooters on Sat. The next shoot is Feb 10. This is a great bunch of folks that are willing to help someone starting out.

There is usually a vendor or 2 selling arrows, arm guards, gloves, etc.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Some of us from the upstate should get together and have a squril or stump hunt. Could do it on WMA land ( I dont think there is anything wrong with that) What do you all think?

Why can't the SCBA have an event here in the upstate? I mean sheetfire not ALL the members live in the lower part of SC. There are some that don't have the time to travel that would like to attend an SCBA function.

 I'll add to what Mint Hill Mule said-CTA is a fine club. My son and I used to be members but my job(having to work most weekends) kept us from going.

Count me in MCNSC for a get-together for some stumpin".

    Have you brought this up to the SCBA??

    We also have a Rabbit hunt coming up the first Saturday in Feb I believe it is.It is also in the same area,Eutaw Springs to be exact.After the hunt is the meeting for all the SCBA Officials.The hunt is to introduce more Youths to archery.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SHOOT AT ROCKS POND. WHAT ALL WILL GO OWN, NEVER BEEN TO ONE. DO YOU NEED RESERVATIONS TO CAMP. WHAT TYPE OF CORSE WILL THEY SHOOT, DO YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER?

              THANKS BENJI

Benji,

    You don't have to be a member.It will cost a little more $ not being a member,but it is not required to participate.I would recommend you think about becoming a member of the SCBA tho....help us keep archery around.

    We usually have a range set up for practice,or just shooting.A few fun shoots,like pop up/lay down ground hogs,ect.A 30 target 3D shoot,through the woods,or basically down grass roads/fire lanes........good realistic shooting scenarios.Lots of BSing.

    Not sure about reserving a site,but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt,we're usually way towards the back of the campground.If you ask the owner they'll know where to set you up.

    Come on down and meet some of us.....

Hey all you SC folks. We go to Santee Cooper every year. We stay at Blacks Camp and come for the 10+ pound largemouths. This year I think I'll do some bowfishing as well. Some big carp and gar in them thar waters. I'd love to stick an arrow in one or two. Droptine is gonna hook me up with some bowfishing stuff (I hope). We'll be down March 25-30.
