July 5th -  6th, 2008 - 2-DAY Mountain Challenge 3-D Fun Shoot
This is a NOT a NFAA Registered Tournament

July 3rd and 4th, 2008  Set up

Join the Little Wind Archers of Fremont County at our 3nd "Mountain Challenge" fun 3-D archery tournament. This is an unregistered 2-Day 3-D archery Foam Hunting Tournament, held in the natural setting of the scenic Shoshone National Forest, in Fremont County, Wyoming. Unlike our other tournaments, where we pay back money to the winners, for competitors, this one is about bragging rights.

2 rounds of 20 targets. Competitors will shoot the first day's round, and prizes will be awarded to the winners of the respective classes. Shooter's stakes will be moved at the end of the first day, and then competitors will shoot a whole new tournament on the 2nd day. Winners on this day's event, will receive prizes too.

Since the Mountain Challenge Fun Tournament was designed as a two-day event, shooter's scores from each day's tournament will be added up, and the competitor with the highest combined scores in their class, will win a special Mountain Challenge prize!

This is not a registered tournament, and is essentially a club-rules tournament, so we'll have a simple set of guidelines to go by for this tournament.

A special, separate 3-D course will be set up for the younger kids, who may not want to shoot an entire course of targets.

So... Will you be accepting the Mountain Challenge?

Accommodations: If you enjoy the outdoors, bring your camper trailer or a good tent if you intend to stay for this 2-day adventure, as we will be again hosting you in the wilds of the Shoshone National Forest this year. Lander is at the bottom of the mountain, and has plenty of accommodations for those who would rather stay in town. Bring your own food, camping supplies, etc. for your meals, as there are no concessions, other than water, and the informal pot luck dinner on Saturday evening of the event...

Location and Directions:

From Lander, travel on SR-28 up South Pass, and turn in on the Loop (Louis Lake) Road at the snowmobile unloading area turnout. As you pass the snow-fence, go in approximately one-half mile on the Louis Lake (Loop) road, and then we'll be just off to the left side of the road. (see map below)

This area is an ideal camping area with adequate space, and idyllic outdoor 3-D shooting terrain with high altitude, cool clean air, and an abundance of trees and wildlife. Bring your campers, tents, bows, and spend a weekend of fun, with the Little Wind Archers, and the wilds of the Shoshone National Forest as your hosts.
