August 2016 3D Archery Report

Archery

The August shoot went real well. We had 45 participants. Mike was back from vacation so the kitchen ran like a clock. We had moved all of the targets for this shoot and it seemed everyone who shot it really liked the course. Some of them even got moved 2 times and 1 was moved 3 times.

We had 31 participants in the Freestyle (Hunter) class, 24 men, 2 women, 2 Jr. and 3 Cubs. There were 11 shooters in the Open, all men and 3 recurve shooters, and 1 crossbow. We have changed the classifications for each group. The freestyle or Hunter group is for all shooters who have any sight that isn’t classified a Target Sight in Lancaster’s Archery catalog. In other words if you are shooting for instance an HHA moveable sight you are able to shoot in the Hunter Class if you choose to do so. Crossbow is allowed if it shoots under 325fps and you have to shoot from the blue stakes. What happens to the targets is if the arrow penetrates through the other side than when it comes out it knocks chunks out of the opposite side. We are thinking about a major change in the course for the last two shoots if it is possible. If we do make this change, we will need some help from some of our members who would like to help. What we have done is divide the targets into groups. 1-10, 11-20, and 21-30. It is hard getting everyone out on the same night so there are 2 people in each group to set up the targets.

The top finishers in the groups are:

Freestyle Men

1)Brian Darrow292
2)Mike Day272
3)Travis Janick264

Open Men

1)Bob Tucker280
2)Brandon Fredrick267

Just a quick reminder that the Aug. “Fun” shoot is this coming Saturday morning.  Same fun time 9am-12pm.  I will start setting up around 8 ish. if any one wants to give a hand.  I was thinking we would set up our improvised “Redneck Fivestand”.

Archery Results – August 3rd, 2014

Archery
It was a great day for a shoot at the Club in August. The number of shooters were down a little but everyone who shot the course seemed to really like it. We changed some of the targets and yardage for the animals. We had four members shoot again this month. It seems that some members are shooting the course during non shooting dates. Remember to sign up on the sheet next to the kitchen when you do. We found a couple of arrows in the wood around some of the targets and one on the ground where someone had dropped it. We are trying to put the best targets we have on the course and we will have to purchase a few new ones this winter to replace some of the worst ones we have so please, everyone who shoots, sign the list because you are supposed to pay for shooting at the next meeting. We are thinking of having a winter league starting in Jan. 2015 if we have enough members interested. We might do two if there is enough interest. One in the daytime and one in the evening. let me know if there is any interest. The next shoot will be Sept. 7th. Set up will be Sept. 6th, 10;00 a.m.
I would again like to thank Dan Hovater, Ron (Tom) Mast, and Breck Stringer for all of the work they do to keep these shoots going.
