Join us as we celebrate the
disciplines of archery and thrown weapons. Camp in the shade of majestic
trees, hear the sound of arrows coursing through the air, and
listen to the solid "thunk" as knives and hatchets hit their
target.
This is the fifth year for
Archery Academy - "Weapons in Flight." We continue the
tradition of bringing the archery and thrown weapons community
together to learn, develop skills and enjoy each other's
company.

Fletcher, and thrown weapons aficionados. A third track of

beautiful wooded site near Sandy Oregon, 22 miles from
Portland. This site used to be Roslyn Lake, but the lake has
been drained to allow salmon to migrate up the Bull Run
river. There will be biffy's (including one that ADA
accessible and hand washing stations. Bring a jug to fill for
water. Use your favorite mapping program to 41515 SE Thomas
Road, Sandy Oregon 97055.
Site hours: 3:00pm on Friday the
8th of August to 6:00pm on Sunday the 10th.
Note that the above Weather and Map information is generated from the site address and can be easily confused. The weather will say if its for the branch or for the site. It will be for the site if the site can be found, but this again is not always the case, and if the site is some distance from the branch then the weather may be different.
