Shoots on Saturdays instead of Sundays

Ragnarok Forge · May 03, 2010, 10:31:00 AM

Our club and all the local clubs out west seem to always put two day shoots. We normally get better turn outs on Saturdays. More folk are in church on Sundays. This way everyone who wants to can shoot.

We have work parties on some Saturdays and the shoots on Sundays once a month. Works fine for us.

Start a Christian Bowhunters Chapter in your area. We have one in our area they shoot at a club once a month and have church services before the shoot. You can do both once a month.

Most shoots in the IA, IL, MO tri state area are on Sunday. They set them up on Sat, shoot Sunday and take them down Sunday afternoon.
There's one in IL that is Sat and Sunday. I always go to the Saturday shoot. The others I can get to if I go to Church early since they are about an hour from my home. I go straight from Church. I really prefer the Saturday shoot, however, since I like to take it easy on Sunday. Now this Sunday is Mother's day, and we have the Saturday shoot, so that will work out fine.

I'm the archery chareman for a club and found that most clubs have shoots on Sunday for more funds (we have to answer to our club boards). Most people I know work on Saterdays so Sunday there is a bigger turn out.
However I do know it conflicts with Sunday service and after reading this thred like the idea of Saterday eves and Sunday. My course is set up and ready to roll so folks can get out of work on Sat afternoon and have a bit of fun with out conflicts with Sunday service.
I will present this idea at my next club meeting. Thanks

They will Jim, All our shoots are on Saturday's and/or both days. What part you moving to? Western Kentucky is an outdoorsmans paradise.

Alot of the 3d providers have switched to Saturday this year! They are doing really well from the looks of it!

Actually I am with Steve. We only had 2 or 3 people to help to set up and take down after the shoot. Most people work on Friday too, so set up is on Saturday. A lot of people work on Saturday, and can't make it until Sunday.

Well around here Sunday shoots don't get enough turnout to make them worth while.You won't get a 4th as many shooters on Sunday as you will on Saturday.That is why we stick to Saturdays with ours.

Besides by the time I setup and take down I need a day of rest to get over it. :D
