Silver Arrow Bowmen (Mount Vernon)

[Special T]

Saturday was pretty wet for feathers but Sunday wasn't bad. Had some new trophies for the Trad shoot. As usual folks enjoyed the string shoot. Only a couple found or took the shot through the stump.

Silver Arrow has some new targets!
To our knowledge we are the only club in the PNW with a T Rex target!
The targets are made in Africa and brought back From Redding California from the shoot. I'm certain they will be out for our hunter warm-up this summer for our next/last 3d of the year!

Today was National Archery day. Silver Arrow celebrated it with a yearly banquet. It was decided that this year would be a less formal affair. We had an afternoon of shooting and BBQing.
John Moore recived the Presidents award for his hard work diving into all the meticulous matters in paperwork for the club. Finances, insurance, and representing us at the WSAA on the Tournament Committe.
Thank You for your hard work John!

Also got to hear about a past member whom used to work for the Fisheries department and left his coffie cup at the club.

The club had a good shoot! Helped me get ready for deer season. Had Cutting edge sharpen my knife that I abused. Russ used a water bathstone to put an edge on it and not heat it up. I saw that he had a bunch of knives and machetes that he did for folks, and put a much needed edge on a bunch of the clubs culterly. He is a club member and I'm happy with his work.

If you are an archery club consider inviting his mobile operatoration to you shoot.

Silver Arrow Bowmen will be hosting a Traditional Only night starting Tuesday October 9th 630pm-8ish longbows or recurve of any manufacturer, no training wheels.

This is inside and there plenty of opportunity to try out each others bows and get to know each other. Often times we will play games. If your a south paw like me you may even be fortunate enough to try out one of Chucks bows. Not a lot of us around to share...

Hope to see you at one of these weekly shoots!

We are having a Work Party Saturday October 20th 9am. Lunch will be provided, Taco Soup. This would be a good time to meet some archers in your area, and to log some hours to earn your key to the indoor range/clubhouse. We will be working on various activities inside and outside. Inside we will be replacing the Pacific bow butts and outside  we likely need to rebuild some outdoor target butts. gloves, rechargeable drills/impacts with bits, and possibly a skookum weed wacker to knock down blackberries and other stuff on the edge of the flat range.

We had our Christmas party tonight. We have a potluck and the club provides the meat. Turkey, ham, Prime Rib were in abundance and I bet you can come close to eating your membership fees in Prime rib. We had some shooting games after dinner. Now is a great time to join because you can buy next years membership and start shooting today.
