CPW SHOOTING RANGE SMALL GRANT - AWARDED TO GCAA...AGAIN!!
GCAA applied for this new type of grant in 2023 and we were successful in receiving the CPW Shooting Range Development Grant! This money is being used to purchase 7 new Rinehart full size targets, 5 new Rinehart inserts, 12 bow rack for sight in range, and 6 new bag targets with stands. New this year we will be matching a portion of the grant funds with with in-kind labor. If anyone would like to help with setup please send us an email to grandcountyarchery@gmail.com. These targets will be placed in Spring 2024.
IBO vs ASA vs UNIVERSAL TARGET SCORING
We have decided to standardize the targets at the range and have all the same scoring type inserts. That will be IBO. New inserts and all New targets will be purchased with the IBO score outline. Click here to learn more https://www.bowhunting.com/blog/2017/05/06/asa-vs-ibo-3d-competition/
