Fellow Archers,

The next meeting of the Mid-Del Archers is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM on April 17, 2005. The meeting place will be the Fox Hunters Clubhouse. The clubhouse will open @ 6:30. See you there.

The April 3-D shoot was cancelled due to flooding of portions of the 3-D range. However, many of those who came for the shoot took advantage of the practice range and sharpened their shooting forms.

There is a chance to participate in the ASA Qualifier which is scheduled for April 17^{th, 30 targets will be set out for your enjoyment. If ASA competition is not to your liking, the next scheduled 3-D shoot is May 4th, so mark your calendar.}

Happenings since the last Newsletter

* Target butts at 50 and 60 yards have been replaced.

* Bow hanger racks on the practice range have been replaced.

* Official dot target faces for the Dot Range have been ordered.

* Trash cans have been purchased for the 3-D range.

* A First Aid Kit is now available.

* The bulletin board has been moved to a more prominent position at the practice range.

Eagle Eye Archery has agreed to sponsor a raffle at the next 3-D shoot. Every shooter will be given a ticket upon registration. A drawing will be conducted after registration is closed and the winners will be able to select amount several items. Items offered may include arrows, target butts, arrow lub, etc. Everyone has an equal chance of winning, so come out and get your raffle ticket.

There is still much to do and your assistance is needed. If you have some time to spend at your archery club, please check the bulletin board at the practice range. Feel free to accomplish any task posted. Remember if you have to purchase materials to complete a task keep your receipts so reimbursement can be made.
