Anamosa Bowhunters

I was in need of a reception venue yesterday after the Wapsi State Park flooded our out other arrangement. The Bowhunters gave us a place to complete our reception and saved our wedding. I want to note that this all occurred with literally a few hours notice. You can NEVER find a place when you have a couple hours notice. I personally want to thank the Bowhunters club and all of their members for their generosity and allowing us to use their facility with no warning. Thanks everyone for being kind and compassionate- that isn't something you find anymore. You saved our wedding and we can never repay you for that. Please let me know if there is anything I can do in return :) Thanks!

Enjoyed the 3D shoot. Nice course through the woods.

Awesome hike thru the woods with twenty 3D targets on the trail we were on. My daughter loves the change from NASP target shooting at her school during the year. There are several grate bridges and hills at good inclines. So make sure to wear shoes that are well fitting and have good traction for the hike. We saw a deer and tons of daddy longlegs, and the largest wolf spider I've ever seen was on one of the backdrops right next to an arrow I was tasked with retrieving.

Biggest downfall is the forest where the trail is seems to be covered in poison ivy. I could be mis-identifying and it could be a look alike. The trail is narrow at some parts and when you miss the target and have to retrieve the arrow from behind it is impossible not to walk thru greenery. Thus every time my daughter goes and shoots she has to immediately shower and wash clothes when she gets home, which is a pain. But she still loves going!

Overall just make sure to wear bug spray for the mosquitos, good shoes with long socks, and long pants, and enjoy the hike!

Edited to add- I now believe it was a Fisher Spider we saw, not a wolf spider!
