Competitors from Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Oklahoma, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania competed in the tournament.
After being selected, the Elliotts had to cut paths through the woods and create 200 targets. The farm will now be one of the permanent locations of the national annual circuit. In spite of the rain, there was a good turnout. The bow hunters were excited about the new venue and are looking forward to returning to Cleveland County next year. Regions Archery President, Richard (Dick) Pintcke said “although the weather was not cooperative, I’m very pleased with the Elliott Farms facility, the spirit of the event and the competitive turnout.” |
