RAPID CITY, SD (April 3, 2023) – The National Bowhunter Education Foundation (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 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 get them interested 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 youth and cub shooters. Youth and cub shooters require supervision at all times while using the Youth Zone.
All events use the same format including two 50-target ranges (the Safari Range and North American Range). Specialty shoots are offered each day.
“National Bowhunter Education Foundation is a great organization. We’re so glad they signed on a sponsor again. We appreciate NBEF’s commitment to promote the sport of archery as well as ethical hunting practices,” explained R100 Co- owner Brittany Rinehart. “We’re passionate about creating fun, enjoyable archery events and are looking forward to meeting shooters all over the country,” added R100 Co-owner Brad Rinehart.
Enjoy the friendly competition at one of these R100 events. Spectators are also welcome.
