Hawkeye Bowmen's 13th Annual Spring Thaw (The Primitive Shoot)
dinorocks:
My partner and I have this years Woods Walk all planned out...unfortunately I was not able to run it last year as a result of a ruptured Achilles but will be making up for it this time around (and thanks to Brian S. for stepping in at the last minute to help out!).
We are planning to enter 5 competitors at the entry shoot with a special Wild Card event at our camp for a total of 6. We had a very hard time picking which challenges to use in an effort to keep the event down to a reasonable time length and not send anybody to the hospital (sorry Ed).
In addition to several shooting challenges, we also plan to put the competitors up against each other to test their orientation skills, fire making, knot tying, first aid, observation and identification skills, axe skills, and more...with many special twists of course! Each of the challenges are tied together with an underlying Mountain Man (Free Trapper) story plot in the background.
And how can I forget...the winner will go home with an incredible prize...maybe a knife, a hawk, a basket quiver made by my wife, or something else...we shall see!!!
Cannot wait and really hope to see some new faces!! This event will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2016.
Thanks,
Dino

The cost for all of this fun is $10.00 per day or only $20.00 for the whole weekend, and that includes camping!!!

Just received more donations for prizes. Both were crafted and donated by Hawkeye Member Kevin Raybould aka "Buffalo Gobbler". The Turkee Caller sounds as good as it Looks! The take down buck saw is made to use and is crafted very well. Kevin donates every year and is hell of a good guy!

Only about a month away, I can't wait!
Our snow is gone already hopefully we'll have great weather.

Over the years, We have had every type of weather (snow, rain, winds and Sunshine) at the Spring Thaw Shoot. The Folks who attend are a tough bunch of Backwoodsmen and women who know how to handle just about anything. After being out in the weather all day, going back to a well setup Camp and getting a fire going sure is a good feeling.
