Peshtigo River Bowhunters Spring League Winners

The Peshtigo River Bowhunters Club has completed 7 weeks of Spring League Shooting. Spring League consisted of 4 teams. Each week team members shot at 3-D targets set up on the range at varying distances. The distances ranged from 10 yards to a little over 30 yards. Each person went around the range and shot at 30 different 3-D targets. The scoring was 10-8-5 & 0 for a complete miss. A perfect score was 300. Shooting was from the ground and also from several elevated stands which gave a good opportunity for many different types of shots. Teams were formed after the first week of shooting. Teams shot against a different team each week. The top 3 shooters with handicap were used for the team score. When a team won, they received 2 points, if the teams tied, then each team would receive 1 point.

“Afternoon hunt. Sitting in a blind at the edge of a food plot. Made a couple calls on a glass pot. They came to the edge of the field about 150 yrds out. Saw the hen decoys gobbled. Puffed out and then came running in”

Congratulations to the both of you!

Hello Everyone,
My name is Taylor Brissette. I am proud to introduce myself as your new President of the Peshtigo River Bowhunters Club. I am looking forward to this upcoming season and can’t wait to see you there.
This year we are starting off with 4 shoots scheduled on the calendar: The Spring fling, Rinehart 30, Rinehart 50, and a 2-man Scramble. These will be open to the public. These are a great way to challenge yourself while also having fun meeting new people who share the same passion as yourself. We also offer a Spring and Summer league that will be for our members only. I encourage everyone to participate in these events. Since these are what keeps our club functioning.
As a club we are always looking to improve and invite all new ideas and opinions. If you have any suggestions, a great way to bring this up is by attending one of our monthly meetings held every second Wednesday of the month. Another way is by contacting a club officer.
“Like” us on Facebook Peshtigo River Bowhunters Club where you can stay up to date on everything happening in the club. This is where you will find updates, Event/League results and share the success stories of our members throughout the year.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the club for a fun and safe season. Remember your success this Hunting season can be determined on your efforts this off season.
See you at the Range,

Taylor Brissette
President
Peshtigo River Bow Hunters Club
