On GOING ITEMS
*BE ALERT----SAFETY FIRST
As an archery club, we are very fortunate to have an Indoor Range and 2 outdoor courses on our property: 3-D & Field, . All members need to remember that multiple archers, can be on any of the courses, at any given time.
** SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST
Also, for your awareness, you may see hunters on the property. Do not be alarmed, as these are club members that have permission to bow hunt deer and turkey.
Have fun, Stay Alert, and be aware of other shooters at all times.
WORK HOURS
There is always a great need for volunteers to handle the large variety of work activities that are necessary to keep the club, it's property, and it's activities in operation. The club has a program where you receive a $10 work credit up to $50 off of you membership dues.
