Algoma Traditional Archers of West Michigan?

last arrow · January 02, 2007, 05:15:00 PM

I seen this club listed as an affiliate in District 5 (West Michigan) of the Michigan United Conservation Club (MUCC). Does anyone have any information on this club such as what they do and where they are located? I'm looking for a group of like minded people to shoot with, and am hoping they have a range or get together in West Michigan. Your help is appreciated.

Try going to the Kalamazoo Trad Expo at the K-zoo fair grounds. You might meet representatives to one of these clubs. I'm looking for the same thing on my side of the state. I think West Olive is near Holland?

Hey guys,

The Algoma Archers is a rather informal group. I should say , a VERY informal group of friends, mainly in the North Grand Rapids area (Sparta, Rockford,Sand Lake, etc) that get together once or twice a year to hang out. Our common and major bond is with and through Michigan Traditional Bowhunters. In other words, we are MTB guys that are local to each other.

There is no actual club house, range, meetings or otherwise (unless you consider a local diner who's waitresses can put up with a lot of goofy guys and gals a club house:)).

So, if you look up Michigan Traditional Bowhunters, you'll find the club you're seeking. Tons of upcoming events too, including a rabbit hunt 1-20-07. Check out the web page and PLEASE shoot me a PM/email with any questions. Enjoy the winter!

MTB member here, I've enjoyed getting together with other MTB members over the years. One was my first time ever Bear hunt in Canada. Some are rabbit hunts that we just get together and do.

I have to agree with Jimmy C, they are a bunch of goofy guys & gals :D , but are the ever a hoot to be around.

Thanks everyone. I will plan on stopping by the MTB booth in Kalamazoo.

Maybe those of us in the South Grand Rapids, Lakeshore area need to get together and do something similiar, maybe with some informal shooting at one of the ranges.
