December Shoot Report

Quite a few of the members showed up at the December meeting but only four ended up shooting the 300-

Round, with only three finishing. It was good to have Steve Linke, a former member out for the shoot/meeting and also rejoining Bo-Arro. Steve dates back to our days at the Bull Valley range and has won many Bo-Arro Championships. Welcome back Steve & Lisa!

I thought I wouldn’t make this shoot but was able to get out for both the shoot and the meeting. Unfortunately, my bow site broke and I was unable to complete the shoot. Steve had some trouble with his site too. I guess it was catching.

 Remember that you need three shoots to be eligible for an indoor championship award. This will allow the hunters to meet the requirements if they make the January, February and March shoots.Well, that’s it for now. Hope to see you at the January shoot!
