PRAIRIE CITY — The Canyon Creek Bowhunters club is sponsoring the third annual Iron Man Shoot on Saturday, May 28, at the Bear Creek Shooting Range.
Teams and individuals, including youth and adults, compete in three shooting disciplines: .22 silhouette, clay target shotgun and 3-D archery.
Last year, the contest drew 25 participants, and this year organizer Mike Springer hopes to attract 60-100 participants from across the state. The event features a novelty archery shoot, creative 3-D targets and a traditional and compound 3D course.
There will be cash prizes, as well as raffle prizes.
The cost to enter with a preregistration is $25 for adult individuals, $55 for three-person adult teams and $10 for youth individuals and $25 for a team. After May 20, the price for each individual or team entry goes up by $5. Registrations will also be accepted the day of the event.
For more information, contact Springer at 541-620-0676 or Les Percy at 541-620-0193 or email ccbhunters@gmail.com.
Springer said the bowhunters club plans to buy new targets and make range improvements with the proceeds.
“We have a lot of return shooters to this event,” he said. “Whether participants are in it for the competition or just out to have a good time, everyone enjoys this shoot.”
