I'll tell you what its like. Our group that consist of 3 adults and 2 youths have been to everyone they have held in Tennessee and are going again this year. What you'll find is that the courses are laid out to push the shooters physical ability, skill, and equipment to their limits. Campground is full of people relaxing and having a good time. There are several vendors that will be set up but this is a shoot not a show. What you wont find is courses full of walking bill boards, flat easy to navigate trails, clear clean shot opportunities, etc. This aint 4H. NASP. nor S3DA. Its 100% designed for archery hunters with real world shot with real world snakes, ticks, chiggers, and leaves that'll make you scratch in your sleep. Have no idea what family friendly is to others but to our family its fine. Best if your unsure is youtube the events
