Spring is here!
The Workbee crew isworking hard to have the outdoorrange open for leagues inMay. The Woods course was cleared and set up with 20-3D targets for the first outdoor shoot ofthe year. We had a beautiful day to set up the course, but rain moved in at the beginning of theshoot. The rain cleared by 10:30 am allowing archers to shoot the course.
The rest of the archery trails have many downed trees. Come out on Tuesdays at 9 am and Thursdays at 6 pm through April to help us clear the trails. In May, workbees will move to 9 am on Wednesdays.
JOAD just held their banquet to award youth archers pins for achieving milestones in their shooting scores. JOAD now moves outside to the FITA field for the summer season.
Improvements were made moving the shooting line to 70 meters creating more space for spectators. Their first shoot of the summer is the SAM tournament held here in June at OCSC on the racetrack.
The Archery Banquet was just held where we recognize the Archer of the Year, all the league champions as well as those individuals who participated in the Tri-County and Michigan Archers Association tournaments. We will let you know next month who Archer of the Year is as this article was due before the banquet.

This is my last article as Archery President. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the club grow. We have expanded our youth programs, especially JOAD with a strong coaching team and many new youth archers along with a new adult JOAD program. We have gained interest from newer members stepping up to be on the Archery Board to continue our legacy of being a top tier archery club in the region. This was made possible by all of our volunteers, too many to list here, that makes our club the best.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us. Inventing creative shoots to challenge our archery community. Enticing Senior Olympics to use our facilities for their competition along with the many archery associations we try to schedule a shoot. Recruiting younger adults to be members. One of our biggest challenges is paving the parking lot for safer winter access and better ADA access. This has been a tough sell to the executive board. I believe we can achieve all these things and more if we put our minds to it.
In closing, I am proud to serve as your president for the last few years.
