Dear Archers
First of all I’d like to say thanks to everyone who helped to make 2006 the successful year it turned out to be. We averaged around 50 shooters per shoot, implemented a Shooter of the Year program, hosted a “Night Shoot†in conjunction with Hawglite, and hosted the “Kicking Bear†archery camp for kids.
In addition to our standard class shoots we also held two Novelty shoots that took place throughout the day. These Novelty shoots consist of the “Long Shot†and the “Survivor Shootâ€. In the “Long Shot†a shooter pays $1.00 per shot at a long range (unknown distance) target and when it’s over the shooter hitting closest to the dots wins ½ the pot. Our payout per shoot averaged around $100.00. In the “Survivor Shoot†a shooter pays a $10 entry fee and takes one single arrow to a very challenging course. If the shooter loses or damages his arrow he is “out†and the shooter with the most points at the end of 10 targets gets ½ the pot. The pot averaged around $80 per shoot.
For our end of the year shoot we awarded $20.00 gift cards to the top shooters in the Mini-Cub, Cub and Youth classes. In the Long Shot and Survivor Shoot the winners were awarded a Scent Elimination hunting suit from Gander Mountain, in addition to the normal monetary prize.
Finally, in our Shooter of the Year program shooters in every class got points based on how they placed in each shoot. At the final shoot of the year the top point holder in each class went into a head to head shoot off for Shooter of the Year. The shoot-off this year came down to a two man shoot-off between Zack Bonner (Novice) and Ben Willis (Hunter), Zack came out on top in the shoot-off and won a $600.00 Academy Gift card which was intended for the purchase of a lifetime hunting license but could be spent as he choose.
This will be MCAC’s third year. Over the past two years this club has grown because a handful of people have worked extremely hard. This club has a lot of potential but it can’t survive with the same few people doing all the work. WE NEED HELP!!
Our next meeting will be Saturday Feb. 17 @ 2 p.m.
If you can’t make the meeting and would like to help please E-mail me @ montgomerycountyarcheryclub@yahoo.com
I’m looking forward to seeing each of you as well as looking forward to another successful year.
