Williamsburg, KY – Flint River Archery, in conjunction with the Iowa ASA Federation, held a 3D regional qualifier at Big Hollow Recreation Area in Sperry, Iowa. As archers and spectators emerged from their vehicles, they headed towards the big pond and the wooded area to meet with range officials at the head of the range. Archers from Crooked Creek S3DA Club, Rigney’s School of Archery (RSA), Flint River Archery Club and The Outdoorsman Sport Shop greeted each other, got their scorecards, and prepared to compete.

Iowa S3DA State Coordinator, Denissa Cornick said, “We are off to a great start in Iowa, and it is great to see so many youth archers getting outside to shoot some 3D archery together. I heard lots of laughter and saw many smiles on the course. This is what makes everything we are doing worth it. The youth is what this is all about.”

One of the spectators said, “The range was well marked, and the staff did a wonderful job organizing the event. The archers really seemed to enjoy the variety of shots and the different terrain. One side of the range was flat while the other side had more hills and more downhill shots. It was nice to see things mixed up a bit and the course a little more challenging and fun.”
