The Bite – September 2023

The Summer Leagues Banquet has just taken place and what a wonderful evening we had for getting together and grilling ribeye steaks on the wood-fired grill. Trophies were handed out for the 3D, Field & Hunter, and FITA leagues. Congrats to the archers who took home some hardware!
Broadhead leagues are now underway and it looks like we are going to have some great participation again this year. When Broadhead Leagues start the anticipation ramps up knowing that archery season is right around the corner. These leagues are a great tune up for the upcoming hunting season. Even if you aren’t a hunter these leagues are a blast and you really owe it to yourself to come out and try it, but do it soon, as the leagues only run for eight weeks.
In next month’s article I will give you an update on the International Field Archery Association – North American Field Archery Championship taking place August 18th – 20th. This will be a brand-new event at our club and we have some nice events planned for the weekend along with the shoot. This is a shoot I am looking forward to our club hosting.
As a reminder the BowHunter Jamboree is coming up on the weekend of September 9th and 10th. This will be the 50th Anniversary of the Jamboree! Along with the 3D and novelty shoots we are also planning a demonstration on saddle hunting both days. This will include equipment that is needed and how to get set up safely.
Watch for further announcements regarding indoor leagues starting up at the end of September. Indoor leagues will kick off with the Flint League starting on September 26th and a we are also planning a Women’s NFAA league, again this year, starting September 28th.
The Archery Club Board of Directors is looking for a Secretary. If you are interested or know someone that might be, please contact me. The pay is horrible but the group you get to hang out with is awesome!
Come join us at the monthly Archery Club Meeting. The meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at
7:00pm in the Archery Club Building.
