While not 7 springs we just finished Broken Bow for the 2nd time.
1. Early nock times rule....less than three hours for us to finish most courses. We did Sitka as an add on on Friday in the afternoon and it took almost 6 hours. We finished right at dusk.
2. I go packless and just use a hip quiver (Kuiu in my case) with a water bottle. Mine has a small fanny pack like pouch that I can keep a light rain jacket in and some snacks.
3. Good footwear. Doesn't have to be Crispi's or the like, but good ankle protection is nice. Apparently someone broke their ankle this past weekend. That Said, I did Sitka in my Salomon trail runners.
4. Be prepared to meet like minded folks who love to BS and shoot!
5. Bring your CC (or not) for the mountain festival. Good deals can be had on items.
6. Some vendors will let you check out binoculars and range finders to try out.
7. Don't stress about wait times at targets. Good time to chat with other folks.
