Since it's birth over a
decade ago, Cottonwood Archery Club has grown from a handful of
dedicated archers with a dream, to a legitimate club supporting
well over 70 members to date, and we are growing all the time.
Anyone interested in archery whether you are into target
shooting or an avid bowhunter, beginner or a seasoned shooter,
traditionalist or shoot the latest compound bow with all the
bells and whistles, Cottonwood just may be for you. |
|
Our club is very
youth oriented. After all, the young people of today are the
future of bowhunting and all shooting sports. Some of
our members are archery instructors with 4-H Shooting
Sports. Others are certified Bowhunter Ed. instructors.
While others just want to help a kid get started. During our
winter league one night a week, kids are welcome to shoot
the course ahead of the adults. |
|
When we hold our outdoor
competitions in the summer we also have categories for all
ages to compete for awards. |
|
During the spring,
summer, and fall months we'll call Prairie Lake Archery
Range homebase. This facility sits on approx. 17 acres of
Little Blue NRD ground. The NRD does a top notch job of
maintaining the course while the club does it's part in
maintaining target butts, and the shooting towers. The
facility has restrooms and an outdoor shelter, a practice
range with plenty of parking, 2 shooting towers, and 1 walk
out platform set up on a course that will accommodate a 24
target 3-D shoot. |
|
Winter indoor 3-D league is held at YMCA Sports and Rec.
Complex here in Hastings. We shoot on Tues. and Wed.
evenings starting around 7pm. Kids shoot Wed. evenings
starting a little after 6pm. We are located at the north
hockey rink at the east end of the building. 16 3-D stations
with plenty of obstacles. Winter league is from, Jan through
Mar.range

Officers are
nominated, elected, or if you want to volunteer once a year.
We don't hold monthly meetings. Most of our communication
between officers and members is done through email, by
phone, or in person at club functions. We feel this works
best for us. |
|
Bottom line is
Cottonwood Archery club is dedicated to preserving the
future of hunting and the sport of archery. |
