Primitive bare bow competition would be good, and hawk tossing could work. Splitting playing cards is also a possibility, and bowling pins at various ranges for off hand shooting is also some fun for handguns and rifles. David
I don't have any primitive bare bows, just a couple of longbows and several recurves. I do shoot cedar arrows!
We'll have to figure out how to set up a card-splitting deal.
From past experiences, folks just like to plink at reactive targets. If I can round up some more golf balls, we can string them up at distance, too, as we did at Quemado.
We should have a great time. I'm hoping we can round up some other folks to this part of the world, too. There's a bunch of folks from TX, OK, LA, and AR, not to mention the rest of the country that would add greatly to this shindig.

Sorry Ed, didn't mean to cause confusion by talking "primitive" bare bows, as in whittle sticks. I don't have any of those either. I was referring to long bows and recurves without sights regardless of composition, given that most of today's bows come complete with high and low range and locking hubs. I love cedar arrows.
I'll look into the card holder also. I've only done that once, and don't recall the set up as I was just shooting. I also have a passel of golf balls for targets.
If there's a bowling ally around, pins make fun off hand targets to 400 yards with whatever one wishes to shoot at them with. They're pretty durable as well, so clean up is easy.

How many obama supporters does it take to change a light bulb? None, they prefer to remain in the dark.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
