2023 Unmarker Wilderness Shoot
What a beautiful day for a shoot! The Unmarked Wilderness Shoot took place Saturday, May 7th. We had a beautiful crowd of adults and children and even some grandparents all willing to hike up to our new wilderness range and take their chances at hitting all of the 34 unmarked 3D animals that were hiding in the trees and bushes. It was absolutely beautiful! And everyone really enjoyed the warm sun, great food and ,of course, the very challenging animals targets hiding on the range!
Shooting scores and photos are posted below as well as on our Photo Gallery page. Additional photos will be added as they are available. If you have photos and you are willing to share, please email them to 'mfarchers@gmail.com'.
Our 2023 Bounty Hunt had to be Cancelled...
What a disappointment... We were SO excited and looking SO forward to seeing all of our archery friends on Sunday at the Bounty Hunt. We had plowed the roads and all the trails, picked the weeds, and filled in streams left from all the rain. We had even put up a new permanent pergola over our vendor area near the practice butts. We had our 'Little Bounty Hunt' for our members on Saturday and the weather was perfect, warm with no wind or rain. We had prepared for months with loads of great food, raffle prizes, fun games and of course awards for adults and all the kids.
And then...
The rains came...and the winds blew... and the wind and the rain joined hands and pounced on our beautiful range! Saturday night the wind tossed the tables and chairs and tore down the covering over the registration area. The rain poured and poured and poured... and the wind blew and blew and blew even harder. At about 7am the decision to cancel the Bounty Hunt was unanimous, there was no way that anyone would enjoy the day and the road to the range was treacherous, with deep muddy holes and rivers of water. We were going to be lucky if all of us were able to get out without getting our own cars stuck in the mud.
So, just so you know, we really missed all of you... and you really missed the great day we had planned for you! We look forward to seeing you again, soon we hope!
Dear MFA members and friends... It is with great sadness and lots of tears that we share the news of losing a wonderful, big-hearted MFA member and great friend, Russ Spencer.
Rest in peace dear friend and keep those angels practicing their archery skills until we meet again.
