About Our Club: The Menard Archers 3D Archery Club is located near the Central Illinois town of Petersburg. Our membership primarily is drawn from Menard and Sangamon Counties, but archers from all over the state of Illinois come to participate in our public shoots.

End of the 2008 3D Season: This year's Menard Archers 3D Season has concluded, and the 30 course targets have been pulled. However, members can still shoot the practice range targets that are found to the left of the lane as you enter club grounds. Hunting seasons now provide a too-short break until our "Frozen Toe Opener" in February 2009. See you there!

2008 3D Shoot Results: Menard Archers public shoot scoring results for most of this year's events are posted: Check out the 9/28/08 Top Scores, 9/21/08 Top Scores, 6/1/08 Top Scores, the 5/4/08 Top Scores, the 4/6/08 Top Scores. and the 3/2/08 Top Scores.

2009 Schedule TBA: Traveling from out-of-town? Make it a fun weekend and stay at the RiverBank Lodge in Petersburg, which has a "hunting lodge" decorating theme. Please note that you can also find our annual shoot schedule online at http://www.bowsite.com and http://www.3dshoots.com.
