We’d like to welcome all team members, club members and friends to our Easter Fun Shoot! We will, of course, have archery lessons for the young archers as usual with the only difference being that we’ll have fun items to shoot at. We’ll have Easter eggs pinned to the target filled with candy and prizes. In addition, we will have charcoal briquettes pinned to certain targets that make a puff of black smoke when they are hit with arrows. We will also have a limited number of Flu-flu arrows to shoot out into a ring. Lots of fun!

Field setup will be from 2:30pm to 3:00pm
Archery shoot from 3:00pm to 5:00pm.

We hope to see you there!

Hello Archers,

Well, it’s been raining all week. Rain today. Some rain tomorrow too. We’d probably do some damage to the field getting the trailer down there and back again. Thus, we’ll be moving our practice to Sunday, same times.

4pm-5pm : All members practice and lessons
3pm-4pm : Team members only practice
2:30pm : Field setup

On another note, as a benefit to club members, we have attained a discount for new archery equipment! If you are looking to buy new bows, or arrows, sights, releases, quivers or anything archery related, just approach one of our coaches and we can give you the proper steps to take.

We hope to see you at practice on Sunday!

Hello Archers!

We had a great time shooting at the 4-H Indoor tournament and Caleb and William made us proud at the US Archery Indoor National Tournament!

Tomorrow, we start our outdoor season that runs through to our Thanksgiving break. We will also be holding our 4-H e-Tournament. For those of you that have signed up and paid the $3 fee per archer, we have special times for you!

First, we’ll be holding our normal lessons and practice for archers not participating in the e-Tournament from 4:00pm to 5:00pm! New archers are welcome. Invite a friend!

• Practice/Lessons: 4:00pm to 5:00pm

For team members and those participating in the e-Tournament we have extended hours!

• Field setup: 2:00pm to 2:30pm
• Sighting/Practice: 2:30pm to 3:00pm
• e-Tournament: 3:00pm to 5:00pm

It should be beautiful weather tomorrow! Hope to see you there!

The upcoming 4-H Archery Tournament is undergoing a surge of interest! What great news.

Thanks to all your efforts, we have had an overwhelming response for this year’s Indoor Archery Tournament. At the close of registration, we had over 330 registered to shoot on a range that could only accommodate 240. What a great problem to have. For the 296 youth that registered, we are making arrangements to accommodate all that want to participate.

Wow. That’s great news. The 4-H team is working hard on making the most of the range to fit each archer in. This includes splitting the tournament into 5 flights! Last year, there were only three flights. This is great news for the sport of archery!

Now for the bad news … for me at least.

Due to interest by youth, we will not be able to allow adults to participate in this year’s event. Although I know many of your were looking forward to standing on the line with your 4-H’ers, I am sure that each of you will agree that our number one goal is to have our 4-H’ers at the line that day.

I know that our team was going to be sending around 5 coaches to shoot in the Coaches Tournament. Ah well, perhaps next year. I am very happy that this tournament is such a success.

We just can’t win for the weather. It won’t be snowing tomorrow, but the field will be unusable.

We’re cancelled for Saturday. Stay tuned for an announcement to see if we can have a make-up on Sunday … but I’m not hopeful.

Sorry folks!

When I woke up this morning, it was 41F. Now, it’s 37F with the wind chill below freezing. Basically, it’s miserable outside.

We are moving the practice to tomorrow, but at a special time due to the SuperBowl … or the Puppy Bowl depending on which you follow. (Puppy Bowl line up: http://bit.ly/980UdU) Practice will be from 1pm to 3pm. It will still be chilly tomorrow, but we should have full sun. This will also give us another day to let the field dry out.

We hope to see you there.
