Posted on: Jun 26, 2023
RAPID CITY, SD (June 30, 2023) – The National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) invites you to participate in the R100 National Archery Tour as it heads to Fayette, IA; Sparta, WI; and Farmland, IN this month.
NBEF is sponsoring the 2023 R100 National Archery Tour. The R100 is celebrating 20 years of operating family friendly 3D archery events. R100 works with local clubs and archery pro shops who host the events across the United States. NBEF chose to partner with R100 again to increase awareness of NBEF’s safety and success-focused bowhunter ed classes and to actively support the industry.
“The R100 events are very approachable for youth and adults. We’ve found these events are a great way for NBEF to engage with archers and foster an interest in bowhunting,” explained Marilyn Bentz, NBEF Executive Director. “We’re excited to sponsor the Youth Zone complete with colorful and unique targets.”
The Youth Zone features five uniquely painted dinosaur targets and two NASP targets. It is free to all supervised youth and cub shooters.
All events use the same format including two 50-target ranges (the Safari Range and North American Range). Specialty shoots are offered each day.
“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.
Enjoy the friendly competition at one of these R100 events. Spectators are also welcome.
