Hello Archers!

It’s that time of year that we run out of daylight to keep practicing on Tuesday nights. Starting tomorrow, September 10th, we’ll be practicing on Saturday mornings. Here are the times:

• 10:00am – Field setup
• 10:30am – Archery Practice Begins
• 12noon – Archery Practice Ends with Field Cleanup

This last Tuesday, our talk was on “What drive it takes to be the best archer in the world!” This week, the presentation will be on “How to find joy and balance in the sport of archery“.

I hope that if you haven’t been able to make the Tuesday practices, that you’ll join us on Saturdays. If you’ve been with us on Tuesdays, we hope you will continue to join us for Saturday practices.

See you soon!

Forsyth County Archery Club

Hello Archers,

Tomorrow officially starts our 2012 archery season! We have some changes planned. I wanted to drop you an email to keep you all informed about the changes.

Here are the 2 key points:

• 2012 dues are staying at $40 per archer, with a family maximum of $100. We’ll start collecting 2012 dues starting August 2nd.
• We’re expanding club practice! Field setup is 6pm, with practice beginning at 6:30pm to 8pm. Bonus 30 minutes for club members.

Some additional club changes:

• Shirts are being sold separately from club membership for $15. New members are required to purchase a shirt. If you already have a Forsyth County Archery Club shirt, purchasing the new shirts is optional. The shirts will be the “Team” shirts wich are dry fit fabric, with the multi color bars at the shoulders.
• We’re starting a new JOAD program called the “Xperience”. Youth archers have the opportunity to earn pins based on (1) Archery range safety; (2) Basic shooting form; (3) Proper shot execution; (4) Practice and training; (5) Grouping arrows/ability to demonstrate technique.
• We’ll also be creating our own club program called the “Club Achievement Program”. Archers earn badges the more they progress with the program. This program will have both educational and performance based aspects to it. Stay tuned for more details.

Upcoming activities for club members:

• August 6th – Franklin County Night 900 – $25 first archer; $15 next; $55 max
• August 13-14 – Wahsega EOY Outing – [ Registration closed]
• August 20th – Gainesville Night 900 – Bennet Park in Forsyth Co!
• August 27th – Franklin County 1440 – $25 first archer; $15 next; $55 max
• September 10th – Archery Practice switches to Saturday mornings

See you for practice starting at the new time of 6:30pm (6pm field setup)!

Hello Archers,

I’m looking forward to a great practice tonight. It’s going to be really hot. We’re lucky in that we have some good shade close to the woods but the shooting line and targets will be in the sun.

Here’s some tips to remember when shooting archery in hot conditions:

1. Drink plenty of water. Start drinking water before the practice or tournament!!!
2. Cut down on caffeine when it is hot out.
3. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
4. Hats. You make your own shade wherever you go.
5. Take frequent breaks. Just a few minutes sitting in a chair in the shade in between ends can help you recover a good bit.
6. Be sure to stay well hydrated before, during and after your activity.
7. Stay in the shade as much as possible. It won’t eliminate the danger from the heat, but it will keep you a few degrees cooler than if you were in the sunlight.

We’ll have our normal snacks and drinks for sale tonight, but we will also have 5 gallon cooler of water. I highly recommend bringing your own water as well, and lots of it.

Archery is all about the smiles it creates and the friendships we form while competing in our sport. Lets have a great, safe practice tonight.

Hello Archers,

I am very sad to announce that there won’t be archery this week. Ducktown Park is closed for grading and paving through Thursday. We’ll pick archery back up with practice on Tuesday, July 5th, 2011.

See you then!

Hello Archers,

For club members that would like to participate, there is a JOAD pin shoot on Tuesday, June 21st starting at 6pm. If you would like to participate in the pin shoot, please arrive by 6pm (5:30pm if you’d like to help set up the field!) We’ll hold practice ends for the first 30 minutes or so, and then get the tournament started. No pins will be awarded tomorrow night but will be awarded the following week after the results are tabulated.

If you are not interested in shooting for pins, please show up at the normal time at 7pm for archery lessons.

We hope to see you there Tuesday night!

Hope to see you tonight!
