Hi everyone! I've been shooting alone in my backyard for the longest time and although it serves as a meditative time for me, it'd be nice to shoot with like minded folks from around the area and just hang and discuss everything slingshots. So I set out to find a venue where guys, gals and kids could meet to have a fun time with the simple joy of slingshooting. Ready with a few banded wide width SimpleShot frames that I had, a bit of clay and a catchbox with a paper target, I approached a local brewery (The Four Horsemen Brewery) sitting on a 4 acre lot and asked if our group (I had none) could have a weekly gathering and showed them how to shoot. The owner was thrilled of how slingshot frames have progressed and was excited about the event and that it was in line with the activities they wanted. They gave us an area where we could set up and leave our targets and you could easily practice long distance shots from a hundred plus feet away. Overcome with joy of finally having a venue in my home state, I created an fb group called The Evergreen Slingshooters Of Washington State. We're a small group for now but we expect the number of members to pick up in time for summer. Please feel free to join us if you're from around the Sound and if the loneliness of backyard shooting is getting to you! Here are some pics from our first meet up;
Oh yeah, did I mention they serve beer and have a food truck on the premises? lol. It's a really family friendly place too for your dogs to run around and there are beginner targets for kids and were constantly adding new stuff to make it enjoyable for all.
We usually meet up every Sunday after lunch and I'm excited to meet you! Thanks everyone!
