Also see the Known Distance range located on the "B" range. Prizes will be awarded in 2 different categories.

Hey folks... be sure to take advantage of our Bone Yard section here on this web site. This "free" service gives you the opportunity to get rid of some of that archery stuff that we know you have piled in your closet. Hey... selling some........ gets cash to buy more.

Hey Folks... been talking with the ASA and our state people with the ASA and the Shoot For Our Troops tournament this year may be used as a ASA State Qualifier event. This is another way to get into the ASA Classic for 2010 that is also held at the West Monroe site. Stay tuned for more information. New registration forms went out today to the Louisiana sporting goods stores. The new registration sheet shows the new start time formats. Bring your own group and have some fun. Registration will also be on site the morning of the event.

During this years Shoot For Our Troops you will have the opportunity to view the new archery park located on the same grounds of the Ouachita Parish Sheriffs Training Center. This new park is under construction with the kids 11 target range including a 70 yard above ground boardwalk being completed this week. The park will also contain 10 target handicap accessible lanes that will be 6 foot wide, 10 to 50 yards long and concreted, 30 permanent walk through bag target stations, a NASP/NFAA 80 yard field range and a 25 foot platform to shoot from an elevated position. The first week of every month the park will place 20 to 25 3D targets out for shooting. All of the walk paths within the facility will be graveled, bridges are being constructed over the wet areas and rest areas with water stations are located along the trails. This facility will be one that the south will be proud of. This facility will also be used for NASP events, kid's archery clinics and camps as well as daily usage from the public.

During the two day shoot we will be putting up a 15 target known distance course that will reside on the "B" course we used last year. You will have the opportunity both days to shoot the course as many times that you like. There will be a $10.00 fee to shoot the course. We will be awarding some nice prizes from Scott Archery. Be sure to check it out while your here.
