RAPID CITY, SD (August 1, 2022) – The R100 National Archery Tour heads to Saginaw MI, August 5-7, 2022. This event is hosted in partnership with Saginaw Field & Stream Club.
The National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) sponsors the R100 – a family friendly 3D archery circuit that works with clubs to host R100 events across the United States. All events use the same format including two 50-target ranges (the Safari Range and North American Range). Specialty shoots are offered each day. NBEF is sponsoring the popular circuit’s Steel Forest specialty shoot. Participants will attempt to shoot 3D whitetail targets through a forest of steel tree obstacles to test their skill. A lucky and skilled participant who makes the shot will be rewarded with a Mini 3D Deer. The Mini 3D Deer durable foam model is made exclusively for NBEF by Rinehart Targets to show vital organs and demonstrate shot placement. Other specialty shoots include the Kid Zone with dinosaur targets and two NASP targets, the Badlands Iron Buck Shoot, and HHA USA Whitetails for Warriors Shoot.
NBEF is partnering with R100 to spread NBEF’s message about its safety and success-focused bowhunter ed classes, and informational materials and to enthusiastically support the industry.
“This is a fun way for NBEF to engage with archers and get them interested in bowhunting,” explained Marilyn Bentz, NBEF Executive Director. “We appreciate that these events appeal to youth and adults. The unique targets and shooting situations really take these events to the next level.”
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with the National Bowhunter Education Foundation as a way to promote the sport of archery as well as ethical hunting practices,” explained R100 Co- owner Brittany Rinehart. “We look forward to educating shooters all over the country as well as providing them with a fun, enjoyable archery event,” added R100 Co-owner Brad Rinehart.
