The scores from Sunday May 2nd, are posted. Just click on the link below.
Those who decided to pass on this shoot because of the weather missed a good one. There was a lot of water, mud, and bugs, but that's all just part of it. A good slide down a muddy creek bank is a cheap thrill, right? There was a suggestion that we make muck boots mandatory, but I think they were joking.
Turn out was a little disappointing, but given the weather and the storms we've had the last two or three days it was understandable that folks might decide to stay indoors. But, the clouds parted, the sun shined, and the fifty or so shooters had a good shoot. Scores were on a par with the usual for the individual classes.
The turn-out of traditional shooters was higher than usual as was the number of Open class shooters. The oddest thing was the fact that there were no women shooting! Unusual for one of our shoots.
We can really use some more help at the June shoot as John Thompson and Chuck Roche will not be able to work the shoot. One of the officers will be contacting members to line up some help on setting up and taking down at the June shoot. We'll also need folks helping out on the concessions as well and sign up and registration. If you're interested in helping out, please call Jeremy Sullivan, John Thompson, or Chuck Roche. You can also click on "Comments" below and drop me an email.

April 11th Shoot
Although there were a number of shoots in the area Sunday there were some 65 shooters who showed up to shoot Ouabache Trails.
Everyone seemed to agree that it was a challenging range that required a careful look to determine the yardage in each of the classes. A check of the results shows just how close the classes were in terms of the top placings.
A number of the shooters enjoyed a cool drink and a burger or hot dog after their shoot. Taking time to discuss, or cuss, the day's scores was pretty much ongoing.
Sometimes the rewards are worth the effort. Just ask this hungry archer. Hot dogs are more important than scores any day!
Remember we shoot every first Sunday of the month, so put May 2nd on your schedule before you forget it.
Another big THANKS! goes out to all those who helped setting up and taking down the range. Thanks also to the Knox County Park Board for their continuing support.

Next Shoot April 11th
Just to remind everyone that our next shoot will be Aprill 11th. Should be a nice day and you can bet that the course will be set up and ready to shoot.
The grill will be set up again to cook up some hot dogs and hamburgers. The cold drinks will also be available.
By the way, be sure to get out and try out the new practice range. For those who have been there before its just off the bridge at the bottom of the hill.
See ya'll there.

New Practice Range Being Set Up
John, Tom, and Chuck were out Tuesday digging holes and setting posts for a new practice range at Ouabache Park.
For the next shoot we should have three bag targets set at 20, 30, and 40 yards. The targets will be shot from just off the bridge.
This will not only add targets for practice, it will also improve range safety, which is always a concern.

March 7 Shoot
Great turnout for the first shoot of the year. Thanks to everyone who helped out and who came to shoot with us.
We probably had the greatest number of folks helping to set up that we've ever had. It sure makes the job a lot easier for everyone when we have such a great crew pitching in to help out.
We also had some great scores shot for so early in the year. Pete Rogers topped the list with a 307 in the Men's Open class. And what a great bunch of folks shooting the Men's Hunter class. They put up some really good scores and the competition was really close.
We hope that everyone enjoyed the new menu of grilled hamburgers and grilled hot dogs. Look for more of the same on April 11th.
We did have some hitches and they mainly involved folks forgetting to put their full name on their score cards or not putting their class on their score cards. But that's a minor glitch and it gives me something to do.
Remember too we're selling club memberships all year long. What you get for the $25.00 is a club tee shirt, the club awards dinner, and qualification for one of those cool shooter of the year polo shirts. Plus you save $5.00 on your entry fee at every shoot.
We'll be looking forward to seeing everyone at the next event.
J.R. Fox, Mark Utt, and Ryan Sauls tune up on the practice bag before hitting the range.
Here's the future of 3D archery and archery in general. We should take a lesson from these smiles and remember that its supposed to be about having fun out there!
