The American bison used to roam freely in Iowa. Now the only buffalo left that can be hunted are like Rinehart 3-D target at the Volga River Recreation Area (VRRA) last summer. This target and 99 others will return to Lookout Point on the VRRA grounds the weekend of Aug. 19-21 as the Echo Valley Archers host the Second Annual R100 Archery Tour. (Jerry Wadian photo)
Lions, tigers, bears & hippos?

This month the Volga River Recreation Area (VRRA) will be host to 100 different kinds of beasts, including lions, tigers, bears and hippos, as the Rinehart 100 Archery Tour returns to the area.
Last year the tour drew over 620 people to VRRA during its maiden visit to northeast Iowa.
That visit was so successful (second-highest attendance on the tour) that the R100 returns this year.
Some things will be the same, including two different trails, each over a mile long and filled with 50 3-D targets supplied by Rinehart Target of Janesville, Wis., the acknowledged leader in the field.
