about us:
The NW Mountain Challenge is a mountain-style archery event designed to test real-world shooting skills in rugged Northwest terrain. Located in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. This is not a standard 3D shoot, it’s an archery event!
We offer events like, a Night Shoot, Novelty Range, Movies under the stars and much more.
Shooters move through true mountain courses featuring varied elevation and realistic shot scenarios, including uphill and downhill angles. Targets are set at purposeful distances, with clearly marked shooting positions with safety being our top priority. With flighted shoot times in place, this keeps the event flowing smoothly, with little to no target backups. Our goal is to provide a true mountain experience for the whole family.
Saturday is the kids competition on the specialty designed kids course. Saturday night is the kids awards, right before our raffle, with the big crowd for everyone to see the smiles. The kids even have a chance to win their very own youth bow from Hoyt Archery.
The event is open to compound, and traditional shooters, with the option to shoot for FUN or to compete, with classes structured for fair competition. Competitors have the chance to compete for cash and prizes totaling over $5,000 in payouts per shoot!
Whether you’re here to compete, train, or shoot for fun with the family. The Hoyt NW Mountain Challenge delivers archery an archery event you don't want to miss.
Shoot Times:
Each Mountain will have flighted shoot times from 8-11:30, that have limited spots available. After noon it will be open to all shooters. If you wanting to get more then 1 course in a day, it is recommended to shoot as early as you can.
How this works:
- When your register, select an early shoot time per day/per course.
- Once the shoot times are full, they are full.
- This doesn't mean the shoot is sold out/we still offer open shooting after noon.
- Shooting after noon will limit how many course you will be able to shoot in a day.
- We only allow 6 shooters per group.
