The Winter Archery Leagues are over for the year and we are now looking forward to the Winter Banquet and the Outdoor Summer Leagues starting! The Winter Banquet is scheduled for April 13th at the Main Club with doors open at 5:00pm and dinner at 6:00pm.
The first outdoor 3D fun shoot of the year will take place on April 14th, starting at 9:00am and running until 1:00pm. At 1:00pm we will start a 3D money shoot with 20 3D targets that will run until 5:00pm. We will use ASA scoring for the money shoot.
On April 27th we will be holding an outdoor Flashlight Zombie Shoot. We will have a bonfire and food and drink available. The shoot will start at dusk or approximately 7:30pm. It was a fun time last year until weather cut it short so lets hope for better weather this year!
Outdoor Leagues start as follows:
- FITA League – May 1st (Wednesday) starting at 600pm.
- Field & Hunter Leagues – May 2nd (Thursday) starting at 9:00am and 4:00pm.
- 3D Leagues – May 7th (Tuesday) starting at 9:00am and 4:00pm (done by 6:30pm).
- Youth Instructional – May 7th (Tuesday) starting at 5:00pm.
(Outdoor Leagues run 12 / Youth Instructional runs for 5 weeks).
We tried again this year to have evening workbees to accommodate our members that are unable to make the morning workbees, and that expressed an interest in accumulating some work hours, however after several weeks they were cancelled due to lack of participation. We still have many projects around the club if you are interested, we can find projects that fit your timeframe.
On an exciting note, we have some new swag available! Archery hats, shirts, and sweatshirts in many different styles and colors. The hats and many of the shirts will have embroidered logos. We will also have some shirts with heat pressed logos. All will be available to order and pay for online, then pick up locally. Check out the merchandise cabinet at the Archery Club to view some samples. Go online and order at this website: https://logosnlettersmi.com/oakland-county-sportsman-club/

Wednesday of the month in the Archery Club Building starting at 7:00pm. the club.

In closing this month’s article, I am announcing that effective at the Winter Banquet I will be stepping down as Archery Club President. I have immensely enjoyed this position for the last number of years, however sometimes personal issues get in the way! I have had the chance to meet and work with many wonderful people and I assure you the person taking over this position will do a fantastic job!
Time to get outside and shoot some Archery!
