If you have never been to the R100, then you need to come check it out! The course is laid out beautifully and is divided up into 2 groups of 50 targets each. There is a North American side with targets of animals that you would find in, you guessed it-North America. Then there is the African side. There are some really neat targets here. Ones you’re probably not used to shooting. Their sheer lifelike size is amazing. You need a step ladder (which is provided) to pull the arrows out of the Giraffes vitals. Most people do the 100 target shoot over two days. There are also several other competitions that go on including the “Iron buck. Don’t forget about the door prize give-aways… All Prizes are distributed by drawing on Sunday at 2:30pm. Prizes total over $6,000 at each event and ANYONE CAN WIN!
If you’re not within comfortable driving range, then camp overnight! Get your friends together and claim a primitive site for only $10 a night. Don’t worry, it is not too primitive though-- Construction of a new shower house will be finished in time for the event to make your stay more comfortable.
Bass and Bucks has a wonderful Pro Shop that is very impressive to say the least. If you need your bow worked on or want to check out the whats new in the bow world, then spend some time in the shop. There is a reason why they are the top selling shop for Mathews and Hoyt in Indiana. Josh and his staff will get you taken care of!
Make sure you plan on attending the R100 this year in Wabash, Indiana. Get your friends together and join the fun with other archers. It is a great event hosted by some wonderful friends. The Butcher family works hard to make sure your experience is a good one and the staff from Rinehart keep the shoot running smoothly. You can easily register online at:
