Shooter of the Year Info Posted

Check the SOY and Results page for info on Shooter Of The Year requirements for 2010. You can see from the pictures taken at the annual meeting that those shirts are well worth trying for.

Congratulations to all our SOY winners in 2009. You can bet they'll be looking to repeat in 2010.

Annual Meeting Report










The annual meeting of the Ouabache Trails 3D Club was held in the Board Room at the Knox County Parks office on January 15th.

Vice President-John Thompson
Secretary/Treasurer-Chuck Roche

Board members for 2010 are:

Member tee shirts were passed out to the attending members. They will be available to members who were paid last year as well as those becoming members in 2010.

It was agreed to buy 5 new McKenzie targets. McKenzie is offering a club special on targets ordered before the end of February. Each target purchased will come with a replacement center. It was decided this reprsents a good value for the club. The new targets will have the unviersal scoring rings, both IBO and ASA.

The current plastic shooting stakes will be replaced with metal stakes for 2010. It was decided that the Pro/Semi Pro distance will be eliminated since we have not had any pros shooting at our club. We will have three shooting stakes set at 25 (white), 35 (yellow) and 45 (green).

Members are looking forward to our first shoot on March 7th.

Check out some of our links to other sights. They can provide you with some great information about our favorite sport.

The Archery Learning Center is a target oriented site that can provide a bus load of good advice. The founder of the site, George Rayls, GRIV, put on a seminar that I attended last summer. He does a great job of explaining solutions to problems shooters might have. Check it out.

Club News Update

The schedule has been finalized and will inculde the first Sunday of each month beginning in March and continuing through September. The exceptions are April 11th instead of April 4th.

March 7
April 11

August 1
September 5

We'll be shooting the same classes and we'll be shooting from the same stakes as last year. There will be an increase in entry fees this year with non-members fee being $10.00 and members fee being reduced to $5.00.

Reduction of the fee for members is not the only benefit for members. Members also compete for Shooter of the Year awards, receive a club tee shirt, are eligible for the Big Buck Contest, and can take part in the annual members dinner for them and their family.

Our member dinner will be January 15th, 2010 with the site to be announced.

We won't be hosting an ASA state qualifier this year as we have in past years. We've attempted to host qualifiers in the past but participation has been low and haven't produced many shooters for the state championship.
