Tournaments Update by Len Bailey

We have two new officers this year; Richard McArthur was elected to 1st Vice President and Bill Argyle was elected to Sergeant At Arms. I have posted the officers and the chairmanships on the web site. Most of the officers and chairman agreed to stay for another term.

Our first shoot of 2010 was held January 17th and we had an excellent turn out (94 shooters), with a beautiful sunny day. I would like to say thank you for all who helped with set-up and tear down. It was very convenient to hold the club meeting after set-up on Saturday, it saved me allot of time and gasoline. Just a reminder, the club meetings are now held on the day of set-up at the range, immediately following set-up.

I appreciate the help of printing out flyers and distribution to shops, other clubs and friends. If you don’t have a few of the business card size schedules to pass out, please ask Jim Penner for some. People will keep the business card size schedules and it will help our shoot attendance.

We are in good shape on the number of 3D’s and have put more on the range for club members to shoot. In the coming year we should only have to purchase (2 or 3) new 3D’s and replacement cores for repair. If we are able to obtain a good deal on 3D’s, we always try to take advantage of it. The Rinehart 3D’s are by far the better quality, made of solid self-healing foam, resistant to sun, heat and cold, last longer and the arrows are easier to pull. We will do replacements with Rinehart 3D’s when needed and use Rinehart replacement cores for repairs. I want to say THANKS to Gordon Eno, Tom Halen, Wayne Murray, Joe Baglio and anyone who has helped with 3D repairs.

Looking forward to a good year. If you have any suggestions for set up shots and fun events during or after the shoots, please let me know. We do “One on One” “5 target Toughman” “Clouts” and raffles. We alternate these for each shoot depending on participation and time allowing.

Thanks.
