  • The Club Treasurer provided a summary of Club Activity for August & September 2019.
  • Checking and Savings balances are looking good with usual and customary expenses including:

    • Stamps
    • Extreme Shoot Awards
    • Deposits for Christmas Party DJ
  • The Club had 27 new members and 17 renewals during August and September.

  • Club President Michael Chesser had the following talking points.
    • Rinehart 100 – No ETA, they have new Director and their schedule/approval has not been approved yet. If selected to host, we will make adjustment to our schedule which should be out within the next week or so.
    • January Work Day is now scheduled for January 11, 2020 because…..
    • IBO Shoot – January 18-19, 2020 NFA will host a World Compound Qualifier and Traditional Shoot.
      • IBO class rules, scoring and format.
    • Traditional Archery Society – TAS Southeast Regional Championship is slated for February 8-9, 2019.
      • All indications, same as last year for format and scoring.
    • NFA Tom Swift Rendezvous April 10-12, 2020.
    • Mike made a motion that we change scoring for Traditional Shoots Only to IBO Format – x, 5, 8, 10, 11 – motion was 2’nd and approved with 30 day review and vote at the November 6 meeting.
      • Compound Shoots will continue with ASA Rules and ASA scorable targets.
    • Scorecard format is being tested for update. Some beta cards were used during Workin Man Shoots with both positive/negative feedback. New format aids in quickly tabulating score at shoots where awards are handed out and scores are double checked by Club Officers.
    • Compound and Traditional Shoots will be split to different days.
      • Increase club revenues with shooters that can’t or won’t participate at combined event.
      • New target stands allow for easy target setup/change between shoots. IBO targets for Trad and Delta McKenzie for Compound.
        • Will need more involvement from Compound Archer volunteers to facilitate changeover from 1 shoot to the next.
      • Compound Changes for 2020 could include payout adjustment (up to 50%), new ASA scorable targets/inserts for that tournament.
      • By the book ASA setup to include clean targets/lanes.
    • Mike is looking at appointing or getting Volunteers for each shoot to be a Designated Range Official who would be responsible for making decisions related to scoring if shooter groups cannot make the decision.
      • This would be for both Compound and Traditional Shoots.
  • Shooter of the Year Changes for 2020
