Caldwell County Sportsman Club add archery to their charter for the first time in the fall of 2021. We talked with KDFWR and they said Midway Archery Could join with us, if not we would have the rights to hold archery at the water tower. We decided that we would use ASA rules. We bought a half range from the Metropolis Illinois, Pro AM shoot early July of 2022. It was originally going to be held up on Archery Club Road where Midway Archery Club use to host shoots. But the December 10, 2021 tornado torn all the trees down over half of the range. Plans are in the future to move the 3D range back up there. For now it’s to the right side of the range in the woods.
So we only had a little over a month to cut a new archery trail with shooting lanes. We got it done. So on July 23 and 24, 2022. We hosted our first ever 3D archery course with 10 targets being shot twice from two different stakes. August we was asked to host the first ever Black Patch 3D Archery Classic by the Princeton Optimist Club. So we did and they provided the trophies. We will not be hosting the 2nd annual Black Patch 3D Classic this year.
We also have a bag archery target range that is open to the public free of charge to use 7 days a week from 9am to sunset every day. Unless there is a event being held. Thank Walmart store #204 for two grants they awarded us $2500.00 to buy these targets for the public to use. Also, a private individual donated $200.00 for this range. Again thank you.
