BULLSEYE BULLETINS
June 2008


A Few Words From the MAC President..
By the time you receive this newsletter, our Spot League should be finished. 3D’s are still on Thursdays until September. We have had great turnouts for 3D’s. It’s not too early to start planning and practicing for hunting season, so plan on coming out to shoot.

We have some really big shoots coming up. Our 4-Man Team Shoot is always a great time. If you don’t have a team, and would like to shoot, show up! Someone is always looking for a teammate. Also, our Annual is this month, which would be a great time to invite a guest to come shoot since there’s so much going on.

Congratulations to Vance Cave for winning 30 target 3D shoot with a score of 301!!

In wrapping things up, I would like to thank Ronnie Benson for donating back stop material, Reece Hensley and Vance Cave for rebuilding target butts, Bradley Robinson for mowing the practice range, Buck Higgins for general mowing, Jeremy Spiker’s Dad Pete Pomeroy for fixing the lawnmower, and Wayne East for spreading gravel at the Indoor Building’s parking lot. Thanks to you all, we really appreciate it!

Thanks, and Good Shooting,
WADE

The Birth of a Blog...

Rather than spend a bunch of money on a website that may or may not get used, I thought I'd sign us up for a blog first, and we'll see how it goes. I will post our newsletters here, and any important Club information.. Feel free to comment: give suggestions on either the blog or the Club, or just let me know you're checking it out so I can gauge whether this is a successful form of communication with the Club Members.

I have also signed us up for an email... MACArchery@yahoo.com. Feel free to contact me through that address with suggestions, questions, whatever. I'm going to try to put lots of pictures in here too, so unless you want to see only my photos, send me yours. If you see a photo you find offensive or you just don't want on here, please let me know and I will remove it.

Since this is the rookie run of the blog, I'll post a copy of last month's newsletter. This also gives me a chance to see if it will work!

A Word From the MAC President..
Outdoor season is well under way and we are a couple of weeks into our spot league. If you are not on a team and would still like to shoot, show up on Tuesday evenings; cost is $8.00. Our 30 target 3D Shoot went well, with about 20 Shooters participating. Congratulations to Al Painter, who won with a score of 290!

I’d especially like to thank those who have continued to show up for work parties. Thanks to Al and Phil Painter for weed eating spot lanes, and Dave Robinson for weed eating around the indoor building. JR Kirby has been handling the spot league, thanks JR!

Thanks, and Good Shooting,
WADE
