Hello Archers!

We’re on for archery today! We’ve finally got (marginally) good weather for archery.

We’ve got some things coming up coming up so here are some reminders:

[1] We have some mail in tournaments this month and next. Mail in Tournaments are tournaments we hold at our park and mail in the results. If you would like to participate in both tournaments please bring in $13 ($10 JOAD + $3 4-H) to practice this weekend or next. If you want to just participate in the 4-H tournament, then just bring in the $3.

[2] The JOAD State Indoor tournament is Feb 13th. Registration is $25 per archer, +$15 each additional archer, $50 max per family. The tournament is in Conyers. Please check our web site for more information. The GAA State Indoor tournament is Feb 14th. $25 per archer, +$15 each additional archer, $50 max per family. NAA dress code required.

[3] The 4-H State Indoor tournament is Feb 27th. Registration is $15 per archer. Register through our club. Deadline to notify our club is Feb 6th. Please have money and forms submitted by that time.

[4] For today, it won’t be exactly that warm. What I recommend is that you wear a coat. I recommend archers taking off the coat for shooting, and then putting them back on in between shoots and for pulling arrows. Please remember to not wear loose clothing during shooting. The string can “grab” a coat and rip it. This also applies to long hair and jewlery. Please have long hair tied back.

That’s it for the news! I hope to see you all later today!

Hello Archers!

It’s going to be raining today as well. Monday is looking really good however. If you can make it on Monday, please join us! We’ll be having a special starting time however!

Club members – 3pm to 4pm
Team members only – 2pm to 3pm

We’ll be practising at our “Indoor Tournament” distances of 18m. Of course we’ll also have our “new archers” lessons going on at the 10m distance for those of you just starting out! We hope to see you at Ducktown Park!

Sub freezing temperatures here in Georgia has caused us to cancel archery this week. We’re hoping to be back in action next Saturday!

There are lots of announcements coming up about mini-club tournaments, indoor tournaments, and more! Please check back with the web site for the latest.

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and will have a great New Year!

Archery practice resumes tomorrow (Saturday) from 4pm to 5pm. If you are an archery team member (you’ve received an invitation to be on the team) then that practice is from 3pm to 4pm.

It looks like a sunny day, but it will be cold. Please dress warmly for the practice. We often have the kids take off their coats while shooting, and put them back on again while they’re waiting and pulling arrows.

We hope to see you there!

Just a reminder to our archery fans and members, we’re taking our holiday break. We’ll be returning to learning and teaching archery on January 02, 2010.

It’s raining cats and dogs outside and that makes for bad archery. Add in the threat of thunderstorms and it’s better for us to cancel practice ahead of time.

There will *not* be any practice next week as well. The team will going to the Gainesville 900 Target tournament and you are invited! Admission is $15 and these folks put on a great tournament. Check out their web site for more information.

MORE INFO COMING! Club members should be on the lookout for more notices later today about changes of our practice time to the summer hours, JOAD information, and team information! Be on the lookout for an email!

We had a great time at Dan Murphy’s house practicing at his indoor range for the tournament this weekend. Thanks Dan!

Our coaches and the majority of our archers will be at the 4-H tournament this weekend, so there will not be any practice. We’ll pick it back up on March 7th. Hope to see you there!

There was a chance that practice would be cancelled this weekend due to the GAA Joad Tournament, however we will have enough coaches still available for normal practice this Saturday. Keep an eye on the weather and on this web site for cancellations due to inclement weather. Right now it looks like there might be some rain. Of course, that’s what they said last weekend and we had pretty good weather.

We’d love to see you out there shooting archery and letting those arrows fly!

Hello friends of the Forsyth County Archery Club!

Tomorrow, January 3rd 2009, we resume our archery practice, if the weather cooperates. It appears as if the temperature will be 57F, with a 30% chance of rain. As you know, our policy with weather is that “Well practice in the cold, and we’ll practice in the rain, however we won’t practice in the cold and rain.” Tomorrow has the potential of being cold and rainy. Please check our web site (http://forsytharchery.com/club) for any cancellation announcement.

Setup begins at 2:30pm, practice begins at 3:00pm and goes until 4:30pm. We hope to see you there … if the rain holds off.
