Greetings ITB Members! I am happy to announce that an agreement has been reached to engage the two active clubs in the northern region of Idaho, the Selkirk Bowhunters, under the leadership of Tim Bertling and the (Extreme) North Idaho Bowhunters, under the leadership of John Zieske, to join with our club, the Idaho Traditional Bowhunters, as the “umbrella host club” to put on this event in Moyie Springs, Idaho on Memorial Day weekend, 2024. Thanks to all of you who gave your input in this decision making process, both pro and con. It is my hope that this choice will be good for all parties involved, bringing in more membership and helping to unify our organization state wide. My visit to the site and meeting Tim Bertling on July 16, 2023 confirmed the reports I’d been hearing about the area, both from the standpoint of the courses and camping topography, and amenities available. It is beautiful! The enthusiasm, experience, and willingness of the northern clubs to partner in the organization of this shoot was very encouraging to me. Their previous success with the Father’s Day shoot (200+ shooters) gives promise to the feasibility and attractiveness of the area to draw a large number of participants. Hopefully, we can all join together to make this upcoming gathering spectacular. Please put it on your calendars for next May!
Join us for the coming Zoom meeting, August 10, 2023 6:30pm MST where will discuss details of this event and other happenings of the Idaho Traditional Bowhunters. Zoom link; https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88169189462. Zoom link can also be found on the ITB website.
Best regards and happy shooting!

Do ya’ll sell hoodies and tShirts anymore? My father in law (Jim Dinelli) used to take me to this shoot – I actually won 2nd Place my FIRST YEAR!! He passed away a couple years back and I miss him something awful. I would love to get a treasure from some of the greatest times we shared camping and attending these shoots!! 😊❤️
Please let me know.
Thank you!

Hi Amie,
Thank you for sharing that memory about your father-in-law and your 2nd place finish from all those years ago. To try and answer your question, are you looking for a Western States Traditional Rendezvous hoodie or perhaps Idaho Traditional Bowhunter merch, or maybe something from one of the North Idaho clubs? We can try to help put you in contact with someone in the area you are looking for to see what is available.
Thinking of coming up from Utah for the WSTR. Is there someone I could call to visit with about the site and get more info on attendance at WSTR? My name is Ken Williams and my phone number is 801-589-0666 if it’d be better to have someone call me. Thank you so much!
Is there a registration flyer for the WSTR yet?
Hey George,
Yes, there is a registration form for WSTR. If you navigate to the ‘Events’ tab on our website, scroll down down and click on the Western States Traditional Rendezvous event, there is a link and image you can print that has all of the registration info.
