Additionally, we support statewide and regional archery events, such as:

  • The National Field Archery Sectional Tournament (2-day event)
  • The Wisconsin 2023 Rendezvous, where we opened our facility to the Back Country Hunters & Anglers for a two-day event
  • The Venture 450 Crew, with 20 members joining us for a day at our facility

Each event allows us to introduce new participants to archery, raise funds for important causes, and create positive experiences for all involved.
