Any Ideas for a New Shoot This Year?

Since we were unable to hold the 2021-22 Northwest Shoot Up Tour this year due to scheduling difficulties, we are working with a few shops and clubs to see if we can put together some other kind of shoot this year.  We don’t really have a format or anything figured out just yet, but we are open to suggestions.  Do any of you have ideas for a single shoot, or maybe a 2-3 leg tournament series we could put on this year?  If so please chime in with your ideas by commenting on this post!

2021-22 Shoot Up Tour Cancelled

Wow… things change really quickly in todays world.  Yesterday things were looking good, but today the landscape has completely changed.

As I mentioned in my previous post, mom and I feel very strongly that enforcing the state mandated safety requirements for masking and social distancing is important if we were going to have the Tour.  That meant that many of the shops and clubs would not be large enough to hold an event and follow the law.  As such we decided to limit the Tour to only those shops which were large enough to accommodate ~20-25 shooters while maintaining social distancing on the shooting line.  That meant we were limited to only seven venues.  We spoke with those venues several times over the last few months, had the schedule worked out, and we thought everything was good to go.  Unfortunately in the last 24 hours four of those seven locations have chosen to withdraw.

Given this new landscape it doesn’t make sense for us to hold the Tour this year.

We are sorry for the 180 degree around from yesterday.  Hopefully things will be back to normal next year, or at least normal enough that we can hold the Tour in 2022!  Good luck to all of you in your archery endeavors this season, and we hope to see you all back in the Fall of 2022!
