Title: Cloverdale!!!
Post by: the rifleman on June 11, 2017, 03:20:00 PM
Just got back from Cloverdale.  We all agreed that it was hands down the best shoot we've ever been to!  Best targets, best target placement and backstops so youd really have to work to lose an arrow, most organized and great people running it.  Camping was great also.  They score 5 for a kill and 0 for any other hit-- for my shooting ability it was very humbling--125 targets in 3 days!  I highly recommend this  shoot!!

I shot the 50 targets on Friday and hit the practice range yesterday. Great shoot as always!

I always thought it was the best course to shoot. I might try and go again next year.

Very enjoyable shoot and really liked the 5-0 scoring. It was my first shoot with trad gear and loved it. Shot all 50 on friday and shot a 165 with my recurve. Returned saturday and traded off one of my other bows on a longbow and shot the practice range twice. Loved it

I have to say that Cloverdale is still and awesome shoot.  I missed the last 4 years do to work, but this year brought my nephew.  It was his first time there, and he loved the course like I did.  I agree that this is to me the standard in a quality, well thought out course.  Fun, well run, and friendly people.  I will be back, and try and bring more people.

My first time there and had a blast, the fellowship was every bit as good as shooting the course and looking for ways to spend money.

Thanks to all those who attended the Traditional Archery Nationals at Cloverdale this past weekend! We had the drawing for the Big Jim Bow Package and the winner was Randy Canon from Missouri. Congratulations!! Big Jim makes a very fine bow and is great to work with. We at the Cloverdale Conservation Club/ Deer Creek Archers would like to thank Big Jim for his tremendous generosity.

Took my kids Sunday.  None of us had ever been to anything like that.  It was so awesome!  My little girl just loved it and the boy did off and on with the heat lol.  It was awesome it's all in the shade.  Lost Nation Archery helped my daughter out with no gloves and an armguard.  Larry put the no gloves on for us so we could go shoot!  

I got my early Father's Day present Saturday so I could use it at the shoot.  A St. Joe River longbow 62" 51@28.  I had been between trad bows for a while now sinpretty pumped with this one!  I actually shot much better than I thought I would.  Lots of fun with the kids!
