🦝🏹 SOMETHING NEW IS COMING TO NENAMESECK THIS FALL! 🌙🔦
On Saturday, October 3rd, we’re trying something a little different — the Nenameseck Annual Fall 3D Raccoon Night Shoot!
This isn’t your normal afternoon on the 3D course.
🌲 15 stations through the woods
🎯 30 targets
✨ Targets illuminated with glow sticks
🔦 Flashlights, darkness and a completely different archery experience
🏹 IBO scoring for those who want to keep score — or just shoot it for fun
🌙 Shoot begins at twilight
Lighted nocks are recommended, but NOT required. They’ll add to the nighttime experience and make it much easier to quickly locate and retrieve an arrow if you miss a target in the dark.
And when everyone makes it back out of the woods, the night isn’t necessarily over!
🌟🏹 GRAND FINALE
We’re planning an optional group field shoot with lighted nocks to finish off the night. Bring your lighted nocks if you have them, line up with everyone else, and help us light up the field!
This year is our test run. We want to see what kind of interest there is in turning the Raccoon Night Shoot into something we can bring back every fall and make bigger and better each year.
So if a nighttime walk through the woods, glowing targets, archery, a little friendly competition and hanging out with other shooters sounds like your kind of Saturday night — COME OUT AND HELP US MAKE THE FIRST ONE A NIGHT TO REMEMBER!
📅 Saturday, October 3, 2026
📝 Registration: 6:00–8:00 PM
🌅 Shoot begins at twilight — approximately 6:30 PM
💵 Adults: $10 | Ages 13–17: $8 | 12 & under: FREE
📍 Nenameseck Sportsmen’s Club — 75 West Ware Road, Palmer, MA
🌎 OPEN TO THE PUBLIC — ALL ARCHERS WELCOME!
Bring your bow. Bring your flashlight. Bring your lighted nocks if you have them. Bring some friends. Bring a lawn chair to relax before the grand finale.
🦝🌙🏹 Let’s make this one big enough that we HAVE to do it again next year.
SHOOT • SOCIALIZE • MAKE MEMORIES

Something new is coming to Nenameseck this fall! 🦝🏹🌙
The Nenameseck Outdoor Fall Raccoon Shoot is coming Saturday, October 3rd! This new annual nighttime outdoor archery event will feature raccoon targets, flashlights, glowing eyes, a few surprises along the way, and a lighted nock grand finale! 🎯
Plans are still coming together, with more details to be announced over the next few weeks.

If only my coonhound could shoot a bow. She’d win.
This should be really fun but ow am I going to stay awake that late lol
I had all I could do to finish the pink hippy shoot in daylight hours, I don’t think I could do it in the dark
I can’t even drive after dark. I wouldn’t think of shooting 🙄
Ok, this idea is awesome but do we have to pick on Jimothy?? 🏹🦝

Let's gooooooooo
Another Pink Hippy Shoot is in the books! This year, year 7, we broke several records. And they were broken because of all the people that participated in this year’s shoot. I wish I could thank each and every one of you personally, but there were just too many people this year. That brings us to the first record broken, the number of shooters. We had 111 shooters this year and 27 non-shooters sign up! Our previous record was 103 shooters. Thank you all for coming and thank you to the ones that came from a good distance away. Some had 2+ hour drives! I hope the course, meal and prizes were worth the trip. I know we loved having you all at Nenameseck Sportsman’s Club.
The second record broken was the amount of money we raised this year. Our first year we raised around $2,500.00. Because of all of you we have gone up every year. This year’s total, drum roll please, $8,916.00!! Again, this was achieved because of all of you.
This money will help the Pink Hippy continue assisting women and men cope with this terrible disease.
We need to thank the crew at Nenameseck Sportsman’s Club for getting the club and course ready for us to shoot. We also need to thank NSC for allowing us to have the shoot there.
Now a big thank you to our very own chef Rush Blankenship and his wife Diane. Rush has provided meals the last three years. This year was a big undertaking. He started the pig the afternoon before and attended it all night. He even had a bear come by for a visit and to see what he was up to and maybe get a little taste lol.
