Inside this Issue

July 2015

The 2015 Tough Man 3D Shoot was awesome! Archers came off the course

complimenting the setup crew for setting up a fun and challenging course. The

fun began with the flying pig target, shot from the broad head platform. The

kids, had a great time giving it a go; and Marv Shrum hit it on the first try with

his long bow! The challenges continued

throughout the course with a gator under the

walkway, a raccoon climbing out of the trash can,

a double sided boar and much more!. Bonus

points were available on the iron buck, the iron

bear and apple over the buck! Thanks for the

Great setup job Jim McGinnis, Ben Phillips and

all who helped setup this great course! See more

pictures of the shoot on page 2 and Jim

McGinnis’s commentary on page 3.

Tough Man Shoot - This year’s Tough Man 3D shoot was loads of fun. A first this

year was the flying pig target shot from the broad pit shooting platform. It was

great fun just watching all of the shooters trying their luck at a moving target and

listening to all the laughs from everyone as their arrows flew over, under or behind

the pig with wings. Jim McGinnis, Ben Phillips, Scott Jackson and a host of club

members setup one of the most interesting and fun courses that have been held at

the club in recent years. I’m told that this isn’t the last time that the pig with wings

will be setup this year.

Summer League - The summer league is heading into the second half of the season.

The race for first place is very tight, with only three points separating first from

sixth place. The league banquet will be held on Saturday, August.22nd. If you plan on bringing a guest I

need to know so I can place the order for the steaks. Contact me or write your name and the number of

guests on the sheet posted by the score card box at the club.

Cement Project - Mike Schmer has informed me that the project of laying a cement slab near the storage

trailers is still a go and should start sometime near the end of August. Help is needed for this job so please

contact me or Mike for more information about helping.

General Membership Meeting - The General Membership meeting held in the month of September is the time

when new Board of Directors are voted in. I have been informed that several of the Directors that are now in

office will not be seeking reelection. If you are interested in running for a position on the Board, let me or

any director know.

them will be set up at registration. The first day of class for shooting

will be Saturday October 3, 2015.

Jim McGinnis - First thing first! Don’t forget to put in for your doe permit and your fall turkey permit.

You only have until August 1st.

On the back course we are putting a second set of stairs on tree stand targets 3 and 4, also on 27 and 28.

This should speed up our 3D shoots. I hope to have this completed within a few weeks.

I would like to thank all the members that showed up to set up the Tough Man shoot. It was the biggest turn

out for a Saturday work party that I've seen in a long time. Everybody that I personally asked showed .

THANKS SO VERY MUCH! It seamed everybody that shot the Tough Man shoot had a great time .We had a

flying pig, a double sided boar, well there were 2 to look like one, ask Ben Philips about it .We had a iron

buck .It was worth a bonus 20 points or if you really needed points you could shoot through the eye . That

was worth a bonus 50. Ask Bill Howell or Lee Green how that went! We also had an iron bear for 20 points

or Boo Boo for score. We had a buck for score or an apple for bonus 20 at 48 yards .Craig Vogues had a

sapling jump out in front of the apple. Didn’t see that coming! I myself had a fence jump in front of a buck

that I was trying to shoot. Thanks Ben! It was a challenging course to say the least. It sounded like

everybody was looking forward to next years shoot .AGAIN THANKS TO ALL THAT HELPED I OWE YOU

GUYS ONE!
