Summer Archery League
Each year, PFGC has a summary Archery League with weekly competitions through summer. If you are interested in participating or supporting this event, please contact Al Dwire 533-7093.
The league starts in in the spring once the field and roads dry up and weather permitting. Traditionally the league ends in August before the archery deer hunting season starts. Shoots will be on Thursday nights, $5 if you want to join the 50/50. Kids shoot for free. Contact Al Dwire 533-7093 for more information on the archery league.
GSB Archery Shoots
Granite State Bowhunters (GSB) - Is an organization, separate but closely affiliated with PFGC whom is dedicated to promoting bow hunting and safe and lawful use of the bow and arrow. PFGC holds one of their sanctioned shoots @ PFGC. Our GSB Archery Chairperson is the key coordinator between the two organizations and organizing our shooting event. This is a key component and fundraiser for the PFGC organization. GSB has its own monthly membership meetings as well as a director's meeting to coordinate between GSB and PFGC.
If you are interested in helping out, please contact our new chairperson Ernie Rocha 930-3959.
