A Different 2009 Monthly Club Shoot
« on: September 10, 2008, 01:41:00 AM »
We had a White River Brigade meeting last month after our August shoot and we decided we we're going to mix things up a bit more with our 2009
monthly shoot schedule.

We kind of got stagnent with paper the last couple years so next year over
half our shoots will be at gongs, along with a few of those shoots also having the knife & hawk throw added in, as well as some traditional archery.  It's going to look kind'a like this;

10 Rifle Shots - (2 kneeling, 2 prone, 2 setting, 4 offhand)
5 Pistol Shots - (2 - Two hand hold, 3 - One hand hold)
5 Hawk Throws
5 Knife Throws
5 Arrow Shots

For those that don't have a longbow and wood arrows we'll supply something usable (not of high grade - but linen backed and quite usable until the person in need can get their own gear rounded up for future events of this kind).  Most members already have their rifle, hawk, pistol, and throwing knife, though there are a few who don't, so we'll have some loaners on hand.

The plan is to give this event a couple tries each year.  The members seem
enthused about it so I guess that is a good sign.

Are there any other clubs out there combining these usages of rifle, pistol, hawk, knife, and bow as a combined aggregate?

One club has rifle offhand on paper plus 5 throws each with knife and hawk on the playing card in their agg.  Not the rest though!

Some clubs have some of each; but in their woodswalks not the agg.

We notice here in Penna that when most of the shooters get settled with their shooting box at a loading bench they want to stay put and pound paper.... :o

If our club gets 30 shooters we are lucky if 1/3 of them shoot our silohuette and primative 12 shot match although it is on the same shooting line as the paper, go figure.   I recall another club in the S/E of Penna that went to a lot of work to set up hawk blocks - big ones- and only 2 of us entered the agg that included the hawk and knife so that idea died!  They want to pound paper soooo we pound paper ::) there.

We do a members only rondy in a couple weeks.   Saturday we shoot paper agg and reentries.
Sunday we do the woodswalk.  Winner gets to keep the clubs version of the Stanley Cup.    Woodswalk includes knife, hawk and fire start.
