McKAMP 3D Archery Course

The McKAMP 3D 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 run by Jason Mc Kinney, who also runs the youth & McKAMP operates leisure camp. The course has 30 stations with currently around 50 3D targets. The approximately 3.5 km long circular route takes you from the shooting range and station 1 directly at the camp for approximately 400m in a northwesterly direction to the forest where the course is located. The forest is a beautiful mixed forest that runs along a slope and has some very rustic vegetation, but is also quite free in some places and interspersed with meadows. The 3D targets are well integrated into the existing terrain and slopes behind the animals usually serve as natural backstops, which is why this course does not require any artificial arrow traps. The stations are each equipped with 1-3 animals, usually medium and small in size, such as raccoons, wild boars, rabbits and deer. However, there are also stations with larger 3D animals, such as bears, deer and bison. The shooting distances range between 3 (!) and 50 meters and are chosen according to the size of the target. The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced archers, who should, however, have moderate fitness and sturdy shoes.

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.
