Back up in NY I am involved with many things and getting going here in The Hill Country. 15 year committee member of the Friends of the NRA.
In NY for the last 7 years I have been handling the archery range at Nat'l Hunting and Fishing Day. We get over 400 people in a 7 hour event to come and shoot bows...all for free. All to promote hunting,trapping and fishing. This is a event that takes place nationwide(3rd wk in Sept) and glad it has wings in such a crappy lefty area where hunting fishing and shooting is looked down upon.
One pic of a past day.

I also run the archery portion of Adaptive Sports Field days at a rehab hospital close to West Point. We get some really challenged folks that are loving archery to help with the hand eye coordination challenges rehab presents. The hospital allows us to shoot on hospital grounds and we set up a small range for the various attendees to shoot arrows at. It is incredibly rewarding to do this. This used a be a once a year event. We now do it twice a year and it is getting bigger each year.
I sure hope the guys who have worked with me keep this going when I am totally out of NY...very soon.
I am looking forward to getting involved in youth activities and the Friends of the NRA dinners when I have more time to give Texas.

Coached kids in soccer and baseball when they were young. Was president of the local soccer league for almost 10 years. Gave it up almost 2 years ago. Still help them out with maintenance projects. Just worked on some lights tonight. Before soccer was president of neighborhood association board for several years.
Next thing I want to do is start to volunteer with TYHP. Love taking kids hunting and my son ain’t a kid no more and nephews are almost all too old now. Want to help get kids into hunting even if it’s just cooking for them.

Currently, on the Planning & Zoning Committee for the City of White Oak. Also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity for several years.Last edited by Burnadell; 03-19-2019, 10:04 PM.
