Archery Club News – June 2026

Well, we certainly have had some weird weather for the start of our outdoor archery season. Ihope that if you have been in the woods looking for the big old Tom, you were successful.

As of now, all our outdoor leagues are up and running, which includes 3D, Field and Hunter, andFITA. You can check our archery calendar for days and times.

Our Archery Banquet was held on April 18th and was very well organized and attended. Awardsand trophies were given out for the winter leagues, and awards for Tournaments and JOAD eventswere honored.

Shortly thereafter, we had our Zombie shoot. How those Zombies survived the cold that night, I amnot sure. The setup for the shoot was well done with blinking lighted targets along with our fire pit,which provided us with a nice warm fire to roast hot dogs and S’mores.

We are now implementing a 5-person shoot committee that will coordinate all our shooting events.

On May 15-16-17, we hosted the Michigan Bow Hunters Spring Shoot and luckily had some niceweather.

This is the first leg of this three-event shoot. Our club shoots against two other clubs for braggingrights and a trophy. The more shooters we have, the better our chances for bringing the trophy toour club. It is a great way to meet archers from other clubs and enjoy some grilled burgers andtreats after you shoot.
I believe that is all for this month’s report.

Thank you,
