Archery/Knife & Axe Throwing Event at R.I.B.


RACINE INSTICTIVE BOWMEN (aka R.I.B.)
RIB is a private archery club that is set on 200 acres of forest and fields in Racine, WI. Every year they have an "anniversay shoot" where the club is open to the public and they have camping, food, beer, soda, music, and all sorts of archery ranges to shoot on.

For the past couple years a friend of mine has been talking to the archery club and trying to get them to bring in some other activities for the event... like knife throwing!

So we pitched our idea to the board of directors and they all decided to go ahead with it!

ARCHERY RANGES
They have 4 ranges of nothing but full sized, 3-D targets, and there are 14 targets on each range. The 3-D targets ranged from raccoons to buffalo, and everything in between!

They even had exotic animal targets like huge gorillas, tigers and even leopards, (but these were for a different event).

The locations that you had to shoot from made it much more realistic. Thru trees and brush, up and down hills etc... it was an "archers dream" :)

They have a pavillion that is about 2 stories tall and you could shoot from the top platform at targets down below you.

They also had a 3-D deer target that slides down a cable that you shoot at from the platform. Very fun to watch!!!

They even have an indoor range with about 20 lanes to shoot on if the weather isn't cooperating. Must be nice :)

ELEPHANT TARGET
I didn't have a chance to walk any of the ranges to take pics but I did get one of the "Elephant Target". The Elephant Target is a full sized elephant that you shoot at from 110 yrds away!



If you hit the elephant in the "kill zone" you get your name entered in a door prize drawing. 3 shots for $1.

WILLIAM TELL SHOOT
They also had a target where you got 3 tries at shooting an apple off of a mannequins head for $1. If you hit the apple you get entered in another drawing!

KNIFE/AXE THROWING BOOTH
I taught atleast 60 people how to throw over the weekend. And anyone that hit a bullseye won a free soda or tap beer.



I met one of the guys on the Board of Directors for the club and he wants to work on getting more ranges set up next year for the knife and axe throwing! I can't wait!

Maybe next year we'll have a log round sliding on a cable instead of the deer :)

I met lots of great people at the event and I even have a few new friends to throw with now. I couldn't have asked for it to go any better!







They told me around 600 people showed up throughout the weekend even though it rained quite a bit Sunday.

Thanks again to everyone that took part in the event. It wouldn't have gone off so smoothly without all your help. So thanks a bunch!!!
