Pennsylvania Bowhunters Festival

Pennsylvania Bowhunters Festival The Pennsylvania Bowhunters Festival is the oldest gathering of Bowhunters in the world. All targets are McKenzie style 3-D targets.

The three-day event offers a wide variety of educational and shooting activities and events designed to prepare Bowhunters for the upcoming archery season. Every year since 1957, with the exception of the 2011 devastating floods, in mid-September, thousands of Bowhunters journey to the small town of Forksville, in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, for the Pennsylvania Bowhunters Festival, the oldest

gathering of Bowhunters in the world. The three-day event offers a wide variety of educational and shooting activities and events designed to prepare Bowhunters for the upcoming archery season and entertain them at the same time. The Festival features the famous “Forksville Running Deer” target, mechanical bear and turkey targets, pop-up and moving small game targets, a timed clay pigeon shoot, stationary targets set at variable distances, and three game trails designed to simulate bow hunting in a northern hardwood forest. There are vendors and manufacturers, clinics and seminars, entertainment, and great food.

🎯 How about these awesome kids stepping up to the shooting line at the famous Forksville Running Deer?! 🦌

The future of bowhunting is looking incredibly bright! Seeing the focus, excitement, and pure joy on these kids' faces as they pull back their bows is hands-down one of our absolute favorite highlights of the festival. There is nothing quite like the energy of the youth shoots! 🏹

A huge shoutout to all the parents, mentors, and volunteers who help these young archers hone their skills and keep this beautiful tradition alive. 🙌

See you soon! 🫵
