Did you ask your shop by chance ? Often times clubs will leave their club rules/membership application and shoot schedules at the shop for customers to pick up.

Problem is Ron is there are no shops in Big Rapids anymore. I lived there for 17 years. We used to have a good bow shop, but it closed up and became a laundromat/internet cafe. :frusty:
Dustin, I would try Rustic Sport Shop down in Howard City. Only about 1/2 hour drive south on old 131. They have an upstairs range that is 20 yards. They have a few spot leagues in the winter. Good bunch of people. I used to shoot there many years ago. Bow tech there is a guy that goes by Mac. His name is Don Mctavish. Tell him Josh Putman sent you. I used to work with him down there at the local paper company. Great guy that will take care of you.
Another place is in Barryton, at the conservation club. It is about a 1/2 hour drive as well. Go East out of Big Rapids on Chippewa Lake Rd. Go into Chippewa Lake and take a left at the stop sigh. Go around the lake and stay on that road until you get to M66 in Barryton. Turn right and go until you see the sign for the Conservation Club on I believe 18 mile rd. I don't remember for sure. Anyway, you will see the sign on the right side of the road for the club. Turn right and it is down about 1/4 mile on the right. I used to be a member there, and they used to have an indoor 3d league in the winter. I don't have any contact information anymore, though.
As far as Grand Rapids goes, the only place I know of down there is Archery Unlimited. I don't remember for sure the road they are on, but I do remember it is right next to a strip joint called Parkway Tropics. (Been there once, not impressed!) :p The archery shop is owned by a guy named Frank Russ. I have only met him a few times, but he seemed to be a decent guy.
Hope this helps. :biggrin1: :biggrin1:
