I'm sorry to hear that. It will be in April again next year, but due to the change in the BCWF AGM we had to change our shoot. We'll be out in front of this next year. Good luck in your summer and coming events you attend.

Me and my daughter had a blast at the Kamloops 3D shoot today. A well run event with something for everyone. We look forward to attending it again next year.

Is there camping on site or close by? Do they allow crossbows for this shoot? Binoculars? Rangefinders? Starting times and costs? Sorry for all the questions but I couldn't find a poster or info on the Nicola Valley F & G website.
Thanks papaken

Thanks for everyone who attend our shoot & for the volunteers who made it possible. We had a blast hosting this shoot & look forward to next year's shoot. Next April will be when we host our 2016 shoot. From the how weather, early morning Turkey & elk calls, steak supper & visits with old/new friends, we all had fun this weekend.
I'll see you next in Logan Lake.

Great event BJ and the Gang . Speaking for the Trad side , the course was tuff but fair and did expose any lack of form or confidence we made have had .
When the door was closed , the new Outhouse on course B side with its no windows design was blacker than the inside of a cow and brought new meaning to "getting in touch with your Inner Sences " LOL .
Thanks to all for your great event .
Cheers

I would also like to thank the Merritt crew for putting on a fun shoot. Everyone was very friendly and the food was very good. For my first "traditional" 3D it was a good learning experience and I only lost 3 and broke 1 arrow :). A BIG thanks to all the folks that I got to shoot with. Their encouragement and help made for a very enjoyable and educational shoot. Look forward to next year.

April 9/10 2016 is the date we've picked for our shoot next year. We will have 6 new outhouses set up by then, all with cresent moons, arrows and other assorted symbols carved in the doors for light.
A big thanks to Gail, Barkley, Marilyn, Olivia, Dana, Ivy & Julia for all your assistance with the shoot. Thanks to both Logan Lake and Chase Clubs for the loan of several targets to make this shoot possible. Thanks to those who donated excellant prizes and knowledge to our event. And last, but definitly not least, thanks to everyone who showed up for our shoot.
Some of my favorite memories will be on seeing the youths at the event shoot, the sunshine, overhearing someone remark about remembering target 7 (downhill to the Griz) and many laughs/stories shared with new friends.
