Title: Anyone else do a 3D shoot over the top like these guys from Iowa? Pics
Post by: Bryan Korte on January 12, 2015, 08:16:00 PM
Just curious if there is anyone else out there that makes indoor 3D shoots this much fun? The guys from Echo Valley Archers in West Union IA really know how to put it all together in a indoor 3D shoot. This building is set up in January, and then taken down by March 1st because the building is set back up again for cattle sales. They hold 3 shoots, one per month starting in Jan. We see these guys all over IA shooting at different 3D shoots all summer, then they set theirs up in the winter. They are always more than happy and excited for us to come in and shoot our stick bows every year. They welcome all types of bows, but the shots are geared for everyone from 5 to 40 yards. If you have pics of your indoor shoots, Id like to see them too. Ill post a flyer in Trad events and happenings and maybe we will see ya there the next shoot. Or if you would rather I post it here I can do that too.

That is FREAKIN SWEET. I am going to build that in a nice sided pole barn in a few years. All of you will be invited.

Very nice.  The only improvement I'd suggest would be to remove the yardage markers.  The wheeie boys should have to do a little thinking to  clean the course.

Bryan-  Do they have a calendar of exactly what days/times they will have the shoot each month?  That is way cool!

That looks awesome!! Wish we had something like that around my neck of the woods for the cold months. Looks like a blast!

That's awesome. Reminds me of one of those pictures with hidden objects every time you look at it you see something you didn't before. Also I can see you may have replace some arrows if miss with all the metal stuff around.

Way to cool...almost wants to make me drive out to shoot it. Thanks for sharing.

One other nice thing about it is,  the members can come in at any time to shoot it for those 3 winter months whether it be 2am in the morning or 5pm in the afternoon when off work. I'm not quite close enough to be a member and make it worth while but we definitely hit the monthly shoots. I wish the drive was a little closer to me even. None the less it's a pretty awesome sight when you walk in the door.

Sigh.  Daddy used to tell me "What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't long for." I shouldn't have looked.

Very nice but I wish they would do away with the yardage markers. They could put them on a card if you needed them.

We have a similar place in York, PA I take my granddaughter to. It is commercial so you pay. The only thing I don't like is a two arrow maximum and then a cease fire.
