Plenty of shoots this weekend: click on the name of the shoot to go to the Georgia Outdoor News thread about the shoot. The text is copied from that thread (and in the case of Destiny Farms, from their website as well). The maps are as accurate as I can get with the information given, though Soulhunters didn’t provide any information in the thread. I did edit some minor items for spelling, punctuation etc. but nothing major. I hope everybody has fun this weekend, I’m working three 12 hour midnight shifts. – Niko

Davey Mountain (Warne, NC) Benefit Shoot: May 11th (I assume the Davey Mtn. club is running this… Niko)
“We are going to have a benefit archery shoot for good friends and fellow archers Chris and Tammy Green on Saturday May 11 behind Hogsed’s Sportswear in Warne Nc. As you know Tammy is battling cancer right now and the family sure could use the help. We will be shooting from 8:00-2:00 at what is known as Davey Mtn Archery. Hogsed’s is being very generous by loaning us the use of the range and targets so we hope to have a great turn out to help these fine friends. Also later on that evening in Blairsville they are going to have a benefit auction for them also, so plan on just spending the day for a great cause. Have any questions just send me a pm. Thanks Eric”

Rocky Comfort Bowhunters, May 11th – Louisville, GA
“We are going to raffle off a Buckmaster BTR 32 ready to shoot package 50-60 lb, 29-31 inch draw, 4 pin PSE sight, whisker biscuit rest, Limbsaver stabilizer and 4 arrows. Even if you don’t shoot come on out and buy some tickets. Great starter bow and proven to kill deer.”
*************************************************************
And that’s all I see this week, folks! Come to the closest range and get your bow warmed up, August is far too late to practice for deer season!

A week ago I made the 3 1/2 hour trip to Cheboygan to drop the kids off at their grandparents house and popped in to say hello to my friend Hawley (Rhew) while I was there. Hawley lives across the street from my parents and happens to be a traditional bowhunter.

Update on the May 11th (this weekend) shoot
Posted: 05/05/2013 in Archery, Gable Sporting Goods, News, ShootsTags: Archery, Gable Sporting Goods, Traditional Archery
I didn’t look at the calendar close enough back in December when I made our shoot schedule this year – this coming Sunday is Mother’s Day. When I was asked to pick a weekend to make into a ‘benefit shoot,’ I just picked May because the weather should be good without being ‘Georgia in July’ hot.
That being said, this weekend’s shoot will NOT be a benefit shoot, it will be a regular, 20 target 3D shoot.
