WORKING TOWARDS EDUCATION, DEVELOPMENT AND RESPECT FOR BOWHUNTERS AND A FIRST-CLASS FACILITY FOR PROMOTING AND IMPROVING THESE IDEAS. |
It was a beautiful day for the archers who came out to pit their skills against a very well thought "small game hunt" themed course. A big thank you to everyone who came out and set up on Saturday! It was a lot of fun and everyone had a great time shooting.
The new course format seemed to go over well with everyone attending, and there was plenty of time left for a wonderful novelty shoot. Most of the archers participated in pass-shooting the buffalo from the sled pulled by Russ Oyster"s snowmachine. Evan Bordenkirher took home his share of the pot, and declared it payed for his gas and shoot fees. Thanks, Russ, for the use of your sled and machine!!
A big thank you goes to Peggy Quinn for putting out a great hot lunch for everyone, and of course thank you to all the members and shooters who take care of all the little things that make these tournaments such a success.
It is also against municipal code for dogs to be in a municipal park and not leashed. Due to some unfortunate incidents, dogs will no longer be allowed on the course, or in the common area of the range. When they are in the common area, they must be on a leash no longer than 6ft. This is not only for the protection of shooters, but to prevent liability issues that our insurance will not cover. Personally, I'm very sorry this has to happen, but the risks are becoming too great and need to be eliminated.
Billi Perkins has graciously volunteered to become the new CIA secretary, and she will be a real assest to the club.
Beginning with the March shoot, CIA will be going to a 2 arrow per target, one round format. Hopefully, this will work out better for our members since everyone seems to be busier and busier these days.
Five XX75 Easton camo hunter arrows were found near the static range last month. If anyone knows anything about these, or would like to claim them please call Dan Branvold at 677-1306, Mike Quinn at 688-0952 or come out to the range on the 18th to pick them up.
The next shoot will be held on APRIL 18TH. The sign up will be at 9:00 and the shoot will start at 10:00. It will be a 2-arrow, 1 round tournament.
BECAUSE OF THE SHORTENED TOURNAMENT TIME, WE WILL HAVE MORE TIME FOR ANOTHER GREAT NOVELTY SHOOT AFTER THE ANIMALS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN OFF THE COURSE. PLEASE PLAN TO STICK AROUND AND HAVE SOME FUN!!!
Those archers participating in the new Bowhunter Open class, please be registered and on the course by 9:30. If anyone has any announcements or information to pass along to the rest of the club members, please get them to Dan before the shoot starts and he will announce them during the briefing.
The course closes at 4:00. All archers must be off the course and their scores posted before 4:00.Beginning with the April, 2009 shoot CIA changed its classification and award procedures. Thanks to all of you who took the time to respond to our request for input, and we hope that the new format will simplify things.
The winners of March's drawing were:The next meeting will be held immediately after the shoot on April 18th. Please stay and give your ideas and input to the officers of you club. Cook Inlet Archers needs your participation.
