About the Event

Veterans will meet in Ortonville for a brief introduction to bowfishing before enjoying a meal together. After that, participants will head to the lake for an exciting night of bowfishing for rough fish.

This trip offers a great opportunity to try something new in a relaxed and supportive environment. With plenty of shooting opportunities and no previous experience required, this event is a great fit for both first-timers and returning participants.

If you have ever wanted to experience nighttime bowfishing, this is the perfect event to give it a try.
