EVENTS AT THE ARCHERY RANGE

We hold our own special events at the range from time to time and will work in conjunction with the Sports and Recreation Committee, the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Brazos River Sportsman Club, ROMEO's or any other Pecan Plantation organization interested in arranging for the use of the archery range.

The backdrop that you see on your screen was developed from a photo taken from one of the shooting stations on our 3D range.


Archery Camp July 27, 2010

23 kids ranging in ages of 7 to 15 years old participated in this year's archery camp. The new to archery kids received coaching from our staff while the more experienced campers helped in the coaching. By the time the camp ended the crowd was shooting at our 3D targets, turkey, deer, hog, and bear. Needless to say, none of the targets remained unscathed.

The camp ended with a meal of hot dogs and lemonade. A good number of the participants remained after camp was over and continued shooting. Based on our observations, we note that in many cases the kids have to be forcefully removed from the range by their parents. Indications are that kids and archery are a natural combination.
