The March 2008 Release has been posted.
Dolores Koski: 6/21/1920 - 2/?/2008. Check the Obit page for more detail.


The agenda for the 2008 NFAA National Meeting is posted.  Please look over it and let Oliver know your feelings about them.  There is a lot of agenda items this year about getting rid of styles.  There is a contingent of people (typically none tournament shooters) who look at other sports like Golf and see that there are not classes for wood, steel and graphite clubs and feel that we shouldn't either.  One of their arguments is that when dealing with the media, who do you say is the winner when there are 50 of them.  At this time I do not plan to vote for any of these agenda items. A lot of the agenda items come back every year and get voted down every year.  Click here for the agenda.

Hermit Gans fell off of a step ladder Saturday afternoon and fractured his scapula (shoulder blade) and cracked a rib. 
He will not be able to shoot his bow for about 5 months.  Right now he is in a lot of pain but home.  Get well Hermit.
December's Release has been posted.
2008 Schedule posted.

This needs to be passed around and acted upon -   It is specifically against NFAA rules to draw above horizontal... it's also against NAA rules.   The practice of drawing a bow up in the air is unsafe, and many archers do it due to heavy poundage or simply out of bad habit.   Pushing the bow out with the bow arm... or better yet, pushing it slightly downward... can assist in drawing it back.   One arrow loosed high in the air and killing or damaging property three blocks away can set our sport back for years... much less ruin the day of the individual with the bow and the individual harmed by it!
The Southeast Directors have awarded both the 2008 Field and the 2008 3-D to South Carolina.
    2008 Field - Clemson SC on 21-22 June 2008
    2008 3-D - Myrtle Beach SC on 12-13 Apr 2008 - 20,20,20 all marked.
 
Southeast Indoor will be multiple site.   The sites will be in Tallahassee, FL, North Carolina and Kentucky. 
The NFAA is running a raffle this year... hunts of a lifetime with 1st place an African hunt, also have a hunt with Ted Nugent for deer and another hunt for turkey with a different guide.   Oliver and Tim will have raffle books with us when we attend events, and tickets can be purchased direct from NFAA.   $5 per ticket and $25 for a book of six.
Ft Lauderdale and Tri State Archers in Tallahassee are going to try something new for 2008.  We are going to run a multiple site Indoor.  You will be able to shoot outdoors in February at Ft Lauderdale or indoors in March at Tallahassee.  Scores from either site will be combined to crown the winner.  If you are not present in Tallahasee, you can pickup your award at the International or at a later shoot.  We will also mail them at cost, if desired.  You are allowed to register for both sites if you wish.
The 2009 National Senior Games will be in San Francisco CA  1-15 August 2009
The 2011 National Senior Games will be in Houston TX  19 Jun - 5 Jul 2011
I have created a new page for Archery Instruction.  We get a lot of queries about archery coaching.  If you would like to be added, please let me know.
The Sunshine State Games have been awarded to Polk county for 2007 and 2008.  Click for more info
