Dear Archers!
We’re excited to announce that Barn Archers will host their annual Summer-Sizzle 3D outdoor shoot on September 12th and 13th this year!
Everyone is welcome. No memberships are necessary, but archers have to sign a waiver.
The event is exclusively for traditional archers.
Our motto is “Keep it simple”—so bring your Recurve, Longbow, Barebow or Self/Primitive bow.
All arrow materials are welcome, but please note that sights and range finders are not permitted.
Join us for three fun rounds of 20 targets each at our Summer Sizzle Shoot!
To make things easier for those traveling a longer distance, we’ll kick things off with Round 1 on Saturday at 11:00 am (registration at 10:00 am).
We’ll wrap things up early on Sunday afternoon, giving everyone a chance to head home feeling relaxed and happy.
We’re happy to provide complimentary water and lunch during your visit.
However, there is a $5.00 donation per person for the BBQ on Saturday. BBQ tickets are available at the shoot.
We can’t wait to have you join us for what promises to be a fantastic weekend!
We want to keep the event running smoothly and ensure each shooter gets the best possible experience, so we carefully limit the number of participants.
The easiest way to secure your spot is to pre‑register online, or simply drop us a quick email, text, or phone call ahead of time.
While we love hearing from everyone, we’re unable to accommodate last‑minute sign‑ups on the day of the shoot, as this helps us keep the schedule tight and the atmosphere relaxed for all.
Thanks for helping us create a fun, well‑organized day of archery—can’t wait to see you on the range and in the woods!
