May 23 through 25—KILLINGTON — Archers, outdoor enthusiasts, and families will gather at Pico Mountain Resort for a one-of-a-kind event this Memorial Day weekend as the Jack Link’s Total Archery Challenge returns for three days of world-class 3D archery action, Friday through Sunday.
Billed as the “greatest outdoor 3D archery experience in the nation,” the event offers participants a chance to shoot over 100 lifelike 3D targets across multiple challenging courses. Designed for a range of skill levels, each course features targets placed at varied distances and angles, creating realistic and exciting scenarios for archers of all abilities. A stationary kids’ range, complete with dinosaur and zombie targets, will also be available.
Archers can test their mettle on:

Prime course – 25 targets, 40-100 yards, with steep angles and rugged terrain.
Jack Links course – 25 targets, 25-75 yards, moderate difficulty.
Sitka course – 25 long-range targets (60-100 yards) replicating sheep, mountain goats, and other species.
The event includes novelty shots with opportunities to win prizes, including a new truck. Vendors will be on site offering the latest outdoor gear, and food will be available for purchase at the main lodge throughout the weekend.
Each day begins at 6:15 a.m. with check-in and course access starting at 7 a.m. Shuttle service and chairlifts to the courses will be available until late afternoon.
