Frogman
3D Bowhunters Challenge & 5k Trail
Presented by SIA Group
TWO EVENTS - ONE DAY
Trail Run- A wooded trail run through the property known as the “400-acres.” The trail is predominantly flat and should be fun for all. This is a course created especially for Frogman. Medals awarded to the top-overall male and female, top-overall male and female masters, and first place in each age division. Everyone crossing the finish line receives a finisher medal.
Bowhunters Challenge- The Frogman Bowhunter Challenge is not your average 3D shoot it’s a full-day archery adventure built to challenge and inspire bowhunters of every skill level. Modeled after events like Total Archery Challenge, this course features rugged terrain, lifelike 3D targets, and shot opportunities that mimic real-world hunting scenarios from odd angles and long distances to tight gaps and tricky setups.
Story behind the event
Frogman was created by The Campbell Family in 2012 to honor the wish of their beloved SOC (SEAL) Christopher Campbell. Chris lost his life during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, in which he and 30 others Americans were riding, was shot down on August 6, 2011. The event honors his final wish to support combat wounded veterans, his love for hunting, especially bow hunting, and the outdoors.
By supporting Frogman, you ensure that Chris’ wish carries on and that he and his teammates are never forgotten!
Bowhunting Challenge
Get ready to push your limits at the Frogman Bowhunter Challenge a one-of-a-kind 3D archery event designed to test your skill, focus, and determination. Inspired by the legendary spirit of SOC (SEAL) Christopher Campbell, this event isn’t just about archery it’s about honoring heroes, embracing the outdoors, and challenging yourself like never before.
This is a shoot-for-fun event designed to help you test your skills, fine-tune your gear, and enjoy a great day in the outdoors with fellow archers. Bring plenty of arrows you’re going to want them!
Each target has a single shooting stake, but if a shot feels out of your comfort zone, you’re encouraged to move closer and take it from a distance that feels right for you. The goal is to challenge yourself, not stress yourself.
Grab your bow, pack extra arrows, and get ready for an unforgettable day celebrating archery, hunting, and the legacy of SOC (SEAL) Christopher Campbell whose wish to support combat-wounded veterans and love for the outdoors inspired this event.
