In the meantime thought I would share some photos from the shoot last year.

Hope to see you this weekend! :wave:

Really appreciated everyone stopping by the booth to say hi and check out our products. This was one of the first event were we had both the Razor spotting scope and Kiabab binoculars for display along with the new Diamondbacks. I didn’t get any pics from Saturday due to be to darn cold to get the camera out

The Vortex Eliminator was a huge success this year. All the money raised went to the WAA, want to thank everyone who gave it a shot.

The Marshfield 4H did a great job with the concessions especially on Saturday, the FREE hot Chocolate and hot coffee came in handy.

It’s great seeing all the youth taking part in a shoot like this - they are our future! Highlight of the weekend was when Brady Wisneski shoot his first robin hood in a tournament. It didn’t take him long to find his dad (Al) to show him.

Congrats to the winners of the Pro-Am
Men's Open - Rod Menzer
Women's Open - Sally Robie
Senior Open - Dave Barnsdale
Bowhunter Open - Brandon Rupnow
Fingers Open - Joel Kuecker
Flights - Dustin Whitehorse

Tim....lots of prizes is an understatement!

Over $1800.00 worth, plus the gold level sponsorship.

With the help of Vortex since the first the Badger Pro Am this tournament would not be possible.

Thank you Tim.
