[Special T]

I wanted to start this thread to let more people know about the best archery club that you can join. Silver Arrow Bowmen has been around for over 50 years. We have been at our current location since the early 70's. In the last 5 years our club has had a huge transformation. We now boast more than 100 members. We offer a 50 target walk though course with the most challenging topography with lots of  Up and Down shots. We also have a 10-50 yard flat range that has coin operated lighting, and a covered shooting area sporting carpet bailed backstops. Our Clubhouse features a 12 lane 20 yard/meter indoor range, kitchen, and lounge. Membership is CHEEP! We also have  a Couple of MEMBERS ONLY events each year. $30 a year for individuals, or $40 for families plus $10 initiation. From NOW till the end of the year if you join the club NEXT years dues pays for the rest of THIS year. The membership form can be downloaded off our website.

I love your walk through course, 2bucks and a great challenge, wish I had more time to shoot there, don't you guys have a 4h youth shoot on Tuesdays? if so what ages?

[lostbackpacker]

I'm headed up there Saturday. Been a few years since I shot there.

If its been a few years your in for a treat. In rebuilding our course we replaced all 4 of the bridges that cross carpenter creek. We both made the course safer AND added so many targets. If your booking you can shoot all 50 targets in about 2.5 hours.

We do sponsor a 4h shooting group they meet at 6pm on Tuesdays. 2 groups advanced and beginner. We support about 60 kids in that program. It is near full capacity.  We also sponsor a NASP program for home schoolers.

It is true that ANYONE can shoot our course for $2 shoot ALL DAY. We operate on the honor system. So encourage others to pay the way... Our members put in approx 2k man hours a year keeping the club going and putting on events.

Spread the word about our club. We are just 3 miles off I5. We have members from Ferndale to Everett. Come shoot our club and you won't be disappointed.

Sounds like a fun event.

I might also add that the club has hosted several Hunters ED programs. Both the traditional WDFW ones, and one of our members has put on a couple classes of the International Bow hunters Education Foundation program that is certification in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and Europe.

We are having our first business meeting of the year. You can come shoot indoors on our range, pay your membership, sit in on our business meeting and find out more about our club.

Clubhouse will be open for shooting by 6pm(perhaps earlier) business meeting at 7pm (about an hour) and usually the clubhouse stays open for another hour after the meeting is completed.

We are Hosting the WSAA Multicolor at our club this weekend it is an RSVP event WSAA membership is required. So far we have over 200 partispants.

[Special T]

We had 211 people at the WSAA multicolor this weekend.We had full lines sat from 7am till 9pm and 7am-5pm today... That doesn't include the NASP lines we had on Thursday to keep room for everyone. Doug, Larry (the new president), Ren, Connie and several others did a great job taking care of people.

Tomorrow evening at 6:30 were are starting Flint Rounds in the club house. 2nd and 4th Monday evening of each month. Flint rounds are an indoor game where you shoot 20 yards and closer up to 4 yards at 2 different target sizes. Its a great way to meet fellow bowmen, and get great practice on your form for shooting. I was a member for 3 years before i participated because i'm a hunter first, and not a "paper puncher". I can tell you it helped my shooting so much I make sure i do it every year now. Come check us out. Membership is cheap and if you just want to come check it out its only $2 per person.

silver arrow is a great range. I shoot there often but have never joined. its a great walk through course.

[Special T]

We had a workparty this weekend to prepare for out Bucks Bulls and Boars 3D next weekend. I didnt make it out on the course. Our 20yard target was getting hammered so hard we needed to do something about it. We made and placed a double butt and had to move the other targets aound to make better use of the space. Come check out our 3 D next weekend.

Looks good   I'll see you at the shoot.

Last Night We had our "End of the Year Banquet" It was about a month later than normal. This is/was a members only Dinner where the Club supplied the Prime Rib Cooked by One of our Members Doug who never lets us down when we need some meat. He smoked the prime rib, and as usual it was awesome! We gave out some awards in addition to our potluck dinner, No shooting at this event just a chance for some good company and a great meal.

We usually have 3 potlucks a year Where the club supplies the Meat and drinks, many people bring in game that they have shot, or fish they have caught.  Our Thanksgiving and Christmas Potlucks we have shooting games for the adults and kids. If you buy a family membership and attend all 3 functions you will nearly get your dues back in the meat you eat!

Come Join us at the club house tomorrow night for some indoor shooting. the 2nd and 4th Monday at 6:30 till...8-9pmi*censored*s open and we shoot an indoor game called Flint rounds. Its fun and great practice. Hope to see you there!

Our 3d shoot was a sucess. We had about 158 shooters on Saturday and seventy some on Sunday. I had to work so I only shot today.

That shoot was a lot of fun

I agree.  My son and I had a good time.  Saw a guy blow up(hit one of the two trees) an arrow on that standing bear target!!
