C.M. Crockett Park is gearing up for a brand‑new kind of outdoor challenge, and local archers are already circling the date! On September 19, 2026, the park will host the region’s first all‑day 3D archery adventure, transforming its lakeside scenery into a full‑scale field‑shooting experience designed for seasoned shooters and rising young archers alike.

The Crockett Park Archery Adventure invites participants to move through a mix of wooded paths, open spillway terrain, and scenic waterline stretches while taking on realistic, hunting‑style 3D targets. Each shot is crafted to test accuracy, distance judgment, and mental focus. No two stations feel the same, and elevation changes keep even the most experienced archers on their toes!

Organizers say the event is built for those who want to sharpen their skills before the fall season. With technical angles, varied terrain, and true field‑style scenarios, it’s a chance to push limits in a controlled, competition‑style environment. And for anyone who likes a little extra adrenaline, a long‑distance challenge shot will be available for a chance to win a prize. Participants can shoot as many times as they like throughout the day, making it part challenge, part festival, and part endurance test.
