The Colyak Bowhunters archery club was established in 1951 and is chartered by the Washington State Archery Association (WSAA). The Colyaks are primarily bow hunters - target and recreational shooters. The Colyaks promote and stimulate interest in all phases of archery and cooperate with other organizations such as the WSAA and the Department of Fish and Game to improve archery season, hunting, and outdoor life in the state of Washington.

 

The Colyaks hold monthly club meetings to discuss upcoming and current archery events, exchange hunting stories, and socialize with other archery enthusiasts. The club also encourages family participation in different club functions. To further enhance this, we hold various activities throughout the year.

 

Our activities include three 3-D shoots a year that occur in February, March, and November. We usually average about 200 shooters at these events. We also have weekly indoor shooting during the winter months for those who like to shoot all year round. This usually runs from January through March.

 

To round out the season, we hold an annual club picnic in the spring. The picnic is where all the members and families come for a day of outdoor meals and fun shoots. The Big Game Awards are awarded to those who successfully harvest a big game animal. We also give out a Traveling Trophy. This goes to the bow hunter who has persisted and persevered in harvesting the MOST big game animals that season.

 

If all or any of these activities sound fun and something you and your family would like to become a part of or participate in, give us a call or contact us here or on our Facebook​ page.  Membership information may be found here.​
