Check This Out! Fire Cracker 3D shoot at Oranco

[Hunt and Fish]

Well about 3 weeks ago I bought Peyton her first grown up bow. She got a PSE Mini Burner, release, sight, rest, and 6 arrows. We have go to Riverside Archery now 3 times to practice and she wanted to shoot a 3D target. She saw an ad for the Fire Cracker and we decided to try it out. 42 unmarked targets over about 4.5 miles of walking. She wasn’t allowed to get any help on yardage from any of us and none of us could use a rangefinder. Peyton stepped up and just started banging the targets. She finished up with 176 points and second place in her class. She was so excited and proud of what she had done but that pales in comparison to how I felt as she just plowed through the day. She had a few stations in a row where she missed but didn’t let that stop her and she just gathered herself and got back in it.

Cool chit!!  I always wanted to take my bow there. Seriously, I can’t wait for my daughters to graduate to that level. I’m all about that!

How old are your daughters? We joined the California bowmen hunters association and we only paid 20$ for today. They are having another 42 target shoot in December as a toy drive. Maybe we could do an Offishial Business team out there that day? All of us in long sleeve shirts or hoodies shooting together? Just a thought. Peyton and I will be there and we can have 8 shoot on a team

They are 8 and 6. They barely just started with a couple cheap Bear bows. I do want to get them better skilled. Their brother was in JOAD as a preteen, and got really good. I wish he would have pursued it further.

That’s awesome. Your 8 year old could probably pull off the shoot if you got her some lightweight arrows to shoot. The targets are all unmarked anyways and it’s pretty much sight shooting at least for this hillbilly here haha.

My eight year old loves it the most, and she’s persistent. My six year old gets frustrated shortly and throws in the towel. She wants to fish though, so land based stuff is so so to her. 


Mikey, how big is your property?  I’ll bet if a few of us got together and bought some 3d’s we could have a pretty sweet target course.  My next question is, how close are your neighbors? If they are within a couple hundred yards, they might not be very thrilled about arrows coming at them. I know my PSE can send them pretty far.
