McKAMP 3D Archery Course
The McKAMP 3D archery course is the newest archery course in the 3D archery region and opened in September 2024. It is located in the Main-Spessart district, northwest of Würzburg. The course is operated by Jason McKinney, who also runs the McKAMP youth and recreation camp of the same name.
The course has 30 stations with currently approximately 50 3D animals. The approximately 3.5 km long circular trail leads you from the shooting range and station 1 directly at the camp, initially heading northwest for about 400 meters to the forest where the course is located.
The forest is a beautiful mixed forest that runs along a slope and features some rather rustic vegetation, but is also quite open in some places and interspersed with meadows. The 3D targets are well integrated into the existing terrain, and the slopes behind the animals usually serve as natural backstops, which is why this course does not require any artificial backstops.
The stations are each equipped with one to three animals, mostly medium to small in size, such as raccoons, wild boars, hares, and deer. However, there are also stations with larger 3D animals, such as bears, deer, and bison. Shooting distances range from approximately 3 (!) to 50 meters and are selected according to the target size.
The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced archers, who should, however, have a moderate level of fitness and wear sturdy shoes.
Registration and Course Use
Registration for the course takes place at the registration hut on the camp grounds. It is the last hut on the left before the shooting range. Registration forms are available there, which after filling out must be thrown into a slot along with the course fee. Registration is based on trust.
In order to use the McKAMP 3D Gräfendorf course, you must have your own archery equipment. However, archery equipment can be rented from the operator by prior arrangement.

The course has 30 stations with around 50 3D animals.
For a round on the course about 2-3 hours must be planned. The path, which is laid out as a horizontal figure of eight, is approximately 3.5 km long and can be shortened after the first third (after station 12) to the last few stations (from station 27), so that a small (half ) round could be shot.
The course runs as a circuit in a mixed forest along a slope. An average level of fitness and sturdy shoes are therefore advantageous.
There are around 100 meters of altitude to overcome across several stations throughout the entire course.
