Archery – February Board of Directors 2025
Our Winter tournaments so far for 2025 have gone well for Archery. Our largest tournament, Society for Archers in Michigan (SAM) had full lines for 5 of the 6-line times offered. The Tri-County Tournament had 61 archers which is on par with last year. The IAA Smackdown had 33 Archers and the OCSC smackdown this past week-end had 20 shooters. The Souper Sunday 3D Shoot we did better than expected with 61 archers shooting 30-3D and enjoying a hot bowl of soup or chili after the shoot.
Tournaments for March are our second Sunday of the month 3D Fun Shoot following by the Archery Club Championship Tournament two weeks later on March 22 at 5 pm and March 23 at 10am.
Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) is practicing for the 2025 USA Archery JOAD Indoor Nationals held in Mason, MI. We are expecting our youth to come home with a few of the awards. JOAD is also expanding into a new Scholastic 3-D Archery (S3DA) Program. S3DA fosters, educates and guides youth in the areas of indoor target, 3D and outdoor tar-get archery as well as safe, ethical bowhunting practices.
Parks and Rec Archery Instruction continues into March. This winter turnout is light with 11 students at 4:30 pm and 17 students at 6:30 pm. OCSC Instructional Archery continues into March. They have a consistent group of 60 students participating between two sessions on Saturday.
Winter work bees are continuing Tuesdays at 9 am on the outdoor range. Most of the work consists of clearing dead trees and debris for the shooting lanes, repairing shooting stands, lane markers and other tasks as required.
Next Archery meeting is Wednesday, February 19 at 7:00 pm. followed Wednesday, March 19 at 7:00 pm.
