The Bowhunter Happening is a family friendly non-competitive 3D archery shoot held annually at Mormon Lake, AZ on the third weekend of each July.\u00a0 The BHH\u00a0 has held this yearly event since the early 1970’s.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Our event draws archers from all over Arizona and the Southwest.\u00a0 Six different 3D courses are set up on the ridge in the cool pines where you shoot at the targets placed in the woods. The Extreme Course will challenge even the best archers with longer shots and some very difficult target placements.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Want some competition?\u00a0 Then the Smoker course & Long Shot ranges are fun for archers who like to shoot really tight spaces and at really far distances!\u00a0 Prizes are given for men, women and youth classes.\u00a0 Also try shooting at the moving prairie dog, bear, turkey & javelina targets!\u00a0 Or try your best at shooting the flying disc aerial shoot where you try to knock down flying targets!<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Kids 8 years and younger can shoot the Big Bear kids course. Long time ABA member Paul Line unfortunately has passed away but this course will see it’s 40th season!\u00a0 There is no cost for the kids and bows and arrows are provided if needed.\u00a0 Each child who shoots the course receives a Big Bear shirt and gets goodies!\u00a0 This course was updated in 2019 with the Arizona Big 10 animal signs.\u00a0 This year we will be providing a special commemorative shirt to all the kids AND for the first time, we will be selling adult sized shirts!<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
