MAY 1ST SHOOT CANCELLED

Due to high water on the range, the shoot scheduled for May 1, 2011, has been cancelled.

At this point there are no plans to re-schedule the shoot.

We appreciate the support of everyone who has been coming to our shoots and look forward to seeing you the first Sunday in June.

March Scores Are Posted

The scores from March 6th are now posted. As sometimes happens some scorecards were turned in lacking information.

We appreciate everyone who braved the weather to make this, our first shoot of the year, a success. We look forward to seeing everyone back next month.

Changes On The Way

The new officers and board members have met with the Knox County Parks Board and things are on track to open the new 3D season the first Sunday of March. On order are several new McKenzie targets to replace some of the older Rineharts which have pretty much out-lived their usefulness. Also on order are inserts for some of the other Rineharts that will be used this year.

Mike, J.R., and the new team are ready to bring some new and exciting activities for the shooters coming out to Ouabache Trails. Come on out and share the fun!

First 2011 Shoot Scheduled

Get it on your calendar! Ouabache Trails 3D club will be shooting its first of the year the first Sunday on March 6th.

There is a new team doing the heavy lifting involved in setting up and running the shoots. Mike Utley succeeds Jeremy Sullivan as President. J.R. Fox, co-owner of Pass Through Archery in Princeton, has taken the reins as the new Vice-President and will be coordinating the work schedule. The new officers are still seeking volunteers to help with running the shoots and can be contacted at the shop or you can reach him at 812-890-6766.

Chuck Roche will stay on as Secretary/Treasurer and five new board members will be part of the new club team. The board members are Travis Thompson, Gene Kosma, Tim Bertram, Jennifer Fox, Kevin McKannan, and Janice Utley.

A New Team For Ouabache Trails!

Great news! J.R. Fox, co-owner of Pass Through Archery in Princeton, is leading a new team which will be responsible for the shoots at Ouabache Trails Park.

We will again be shooting on the first Sunday of each month beginning in March and continuing through October.

Memberships will again be available which will reduce the entry fee for shooters from $10.00 to $5.00.

A big shout out to J.R. for taking on this leadership role.

Final Posting

This will be the final posting I will be making to this blog.

Due to the lack of support, there will be no shoots sponsored by the club this year given the current circumstances.

John Thompson, Tom Tarter, Jeremy Sullivan and I will no longer be available to set up and do the preparation work necessary for the shoots. It has just gotten to be too much work for too few people to do the preparation work and then do the setup, registration, concessions, and everything else that goes into putting on a shoot.

In addition, John Thompson, Jeremy Sullivan and I have decided to shoot some of the national shoots. However they are, for the most part, held on dates that include the first Sunday of the month. We did attempt to work out an arrangement with another property owner. We tried to trade Sundays with Bigfoot but they were not willing.
We have asked for more volunteers before in the web site and the newsletters but have not had much response.

The park is keeping the targets they purchased and might consider allowing someone else to put on shoots sometime in the future.

Remaining funds will be donated to youth archery programs such as the National Archery in the Schools Program.
