[JOAD MAIL-IN TOURNAMENT]
Please register by Wed, Jan 25th for the mail in tournament. Cost is $10 per archer. Just email me and we’ll get you on the list. We will also be holding a JOAD pin shoot at the same time. Cost is $0 (free) for members of the club but you MUST register by Wednesday as well. If you don’t register, you aren’t allowed to participate in the tournament. It just takes an email. If you are one of the five that signed up at last practice, then you’re all set! Please allow extra time! We’ll be shooting until 2pm or so that day!

[PUTNAM COUNTY 4-H INDOOR TOURNAMENT]
The deadline is … today! Yikes. Visit our site and search for ‘putnam’ to find the tournament and pull up the flier. Call if you want to register and participate!

[AFTER PRACTICE POT LUCK]
One of our own archers, Sarah M., requested that we have a lunch after practice so … we’re totally going to do it. On Feb 11th, bring a dish to share and we’ll talk and get to know our fellow archers! Should be a blast!

[4-H STATE INDOOR TOURNAMENT]
For this tournament, you register through the club. Registration is $15 per archer to the club. You must register with the club by February 4th. Our club signs up as a team and we get assigned a time slot. There is 30 minutes for practice and then 2 hours for scoring rounds. This is a great tournament and I encourage all archers, experienced or new, to sign up for this tournament.

[GAA STATE JOAD INDOOR TOURNAMENT]
Sat, Feb 18th is the GAA State JOAD Indoor tournament. Deadline to register is Feb 11th. See our site for more details.

[GAA STATE INDOOR TOURNAMENT]
Sat, Feb 19th is the GAA State Indoor tournament. Deadline to register is Feb 11th. See our site for more details.

[USA ARCHERY INDOOR NATIONALS]
I don’t have many details for this tournament, but this may be an opportunity to see some of the best archers in the USA compete. Stay tuned for more details.

[COACHES TRAINING]
We’re always looking for adults enthusiastic to learn more about archery and to pass that information on to our additional members of the club. The training is held at Rock Eagle 4-H. 4-H pays for everything with the exception of the gas to get there, and your time. Lodging, meals, and the training costs are all covered. Email me if you have any questions. I promise you, that you’ll have a great time.

That’s it for now. Take care everyone, and lets hope for better weather next week so we can have archery practice.

Hello Archers,

We’ve been having rain today and it looks like it is going to be raining through tomorrow. We’re afraid that we’d be doing too much damage to the field getting our truck and trailer on and off of the field for setup, in addition to the cold and rain.

We’ll shoot in the cold, and we’ll shoot in the rain, but we won’t shoot in the cold and rain.

We welcome you to return to archery Jan 28th, 2012! Stay tuned for another posting about upcoming events and deadlines.
