Hunter’s Field Day
On September 27th we hosted the first annual Hunter’s Field Day on behalf
of the First Baptist Church of Whitehall. It was a beautiful day to enjoy all
the activities including trap shooting, archery, a 3D archery range and a wrist
rocket range. The church put on a great lunch followed by a presentation
of life principles illustrated through an archery demonstration by Larry Guthrie.
We originally thought that this would be a men’s event, however, we were
really encouraged by how many families came to spend the day together.

The wrist rocket (sling shot) range was a big hit.
Lots of people enjoyed the trap range, supervised by hunter safety instructors.
Father and daughter shooting through the 12 target, 3D archery course set
up along the ridge.
We held an iron buck contest. It cost $1 a shot. if you hit the vitals, your
name went into a drawing for all the money collected. Arrows that missed
the vitals were shattered. No one was able to claim the cash this year!
The First Baptist Church provided a delicious lunch.
A young, future hunter, proud of his shooting.
Larry Guthrie presented a great message from seven life principles he’s
learned from archery.
Jason Molis, our local archery store owner, supported the event with his
expertise and generosity AND did the shooting for the demonstration.
His ultimate goal was to shoot an apple off of a head…
of a squash!
