3D Archery Competition

Shoot at life-sized, three-dimensional foam animal targets set along a natural walking course. Each target is placed at varying, often unmarked distances to simulate real-world hunting scenarios and challenge an archer’s instinct, form, and accuracy. Competitors move through the course in small groups, scoring each shot based on marked rings on the target.

Participants will need to supply their own archery gear. Youth gear will be available to borrow for the event.
