Default RE: Archery 3-D competition in your area?

Around here (West GA/East AL) most every club shoots 20 targets. Cost is usually $15.00 for the payback classes and $10 for trophy classes. We payback 50% to 20% of the entrants. So $7.50 goes to the club and $7.50 goes to payback. We had our local Triple Crown type shoot a few weeks ago and entry fees were $10 more per class and that $10 goes to the final shooter of the year type deal. Now there we pay back the normal $7.50 and the the other $10 is also paid back after all 4 legs are shot.

Targets will be your biggest expense if you are going to do a start up. When we started we went out and found 2 $500 sponsors and then got lucky and got a bunch of targets donated.

We shoot all Rhineharts and have not even used the 2nd set of inserts.

Like some one else said we make a pretty decent amount of money off the food as well.

Good luck. Participation in GA is way up this year. Maybe you are catching the upswing of 3D archery.
