OCTOBER SHOOT REPORT:

The first shoot of our 300 round season got off to a not too shabby start, considering hunting season has begun.  Most everyone shot at single indoor targets that have 5,4,3,2,1 scoring, as we are out of new 5 spot targets and have a huge supply of the single targets...where they came from, beats me.  If you got ‘em, smoke ‘em.  If you start busting up your nocks…hang two single targets and split your arrows between them.

It was suggested at the meeting that maybe our indoor schedule should go to March.  This was probably a good idea and will be revisited at the November meeting.

As this was the first shoot, handicap scores are not shown, as they would be meaningless…however a handicap is included and could be used at the next shoot.

Results of the October shoot follows:

 

ARCHER                               SCORE   X’s          Handicap

Tom                             222        *        62hcp

Scott                            250      6x       40hcp

Gale                             252        *        38hcp

Rich                             281      15x      15hcp

Pete                             281      21x      15hcp

Dan                              287      31x      10hcp

President’s message:

The October meeting started late because we got off to a slow start with the 300 round.  In the future I will try to get the meetings started on schedule.  That may mean curtailing shooting until the meeting is over, at which time you can complete your round.

A copy of our Target Archery Shoot Rules is included with this newsletter.  Please look them over so that we can discuss and approve them (or approve as noted) at the meeting.

I’d like to congratulate Gale on the thorough inventory of our supplies and equipment.  I am including a copy of it in the newsletter.  Please give any updates to Gale.

 

A special thanks to Sam Koukios for the two deer and two antelope mounts he donated to the club.  We already have them hanging in the clubhouse. Sam is moving and didn’t have room for them.  Sam, don’t forget to get your new address to us!

 

Hope to see you at the next event!             Dan

Editor’s Note:

In the last couple of newsletters I used words that I didn’t know their derivation and only understood their meaning through usage.  Recently, while watching TV, I found out the meaning of these acronyms…they do not appear in dictionaries.  A dollar prize to the first one that guesses the word(s) and terms.

P.S.  I hope I don’t have to use them in the future.

TIDBITS

Got a call from a guy wanting to know the location of our range.  After giving him instructions he didn’t seem to recognize any of the locations…so I asked him where he was located.  His answer was… Washington!  A told him he was going to have a long drive because we’re located in Illinois.  After a good laugh I asked him where he got the information.  He said off the internet and said he saw we had an archery/golf shoot in November.  After another good laugh I told him that we had that a couple of years ago.  So much for information off the internet.

 

Recently I drove past our old range in Spring Grove.  The whole front is landscaped and has a bicycle path running the length of the front.  In the middle is an entrance with a sales trailer.  It appears that our old storage trailer is still on the side of the property.
