3D Archery event Aug. 2-3 at Denman Wildlife Area

CENTRAL POINT, Ore. – The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is hosting a family-friendly 3D archery event Aug. 2-3 at the Military Slough tract on Denman Wildlife Area.

For just $10 (cash only, pay at entrance), archers can take shots at 40 3D animal targets on a two-mile course along maintained and gravel roads. Those 17 and younger get in free but must be accompanied by an adult. The supervising adult does not have to shoot or register.

The event starts behind the green gate on Tou Velle Rd. off Agate Rd. Follow GPS coordinates 42.44374,-122.8565. Staggered start times begin at 8 a.m. and the last archer is out at 1 p.m.

Participants shoot up to two shots per target; distances vary from 10 to 60 yards with a focus on targets ranging from 10 to 20 yards. Archers can use either compound or recurve bows.
