- Range Report
with
Butch indicated several works in progress, refurbishment of existing
tree/cadillac stands and project to apply seal/protectant. Butch
also indicated a desire to extend the Working Man Shoot Schedule
thru the Fall Time Change which is under review.
- Club Direction
Mike asked about thoughts
comments about direction of the club and offered a post rendezvous
assessment.
- In 2018, the majority of
commentary was very critical of the TS Rendezvous. The course
was very difficult and not shooter friendly.
- In 2019, the majority of
commentary said it was "Over the Top" and very
complementary of the course layout as being family friendly and
everyone like the updated facilities.
- Mike offered thanks to all
who played a part in setup/preparation such as Butch, Gene,
Jim, Steve and the many more who participated.
Club Direction continued...
Improvements for next year
include Scorecard handling: shooter identification, class being
shot and where shooter cards will be placed when rounds are
complete to prepare for scoring and class awards, potentially
filling out cards for shooters to ensure names can be read, etc…
Mike indicated he has submitted a
proposal for NFA to host the Rinehart 100.
- This would be a very big deal.
- No projected timeframe for
approval or estimated shoot date.
- Maximum Effort event by
membership.
- Will advise membership when he
gets feedback on application.
Monthly Shoots are under review
for separation of Compound and Traditional Archers into separate
days.
- Discussions are ongoing.
- Compound Archer participation
has increased for Monthly and weekly events.
Next big Goal is to obtain a
conex trailer to house targets,etc…
IBO shoot status remains pending
at the present time.
TAS Shoot is on target for 2020,
dates pending.
Club Reminders and Follow/up Items:
- Sponsorship Director is Dr. John Morris - he should
be the first point contact anyone should reach out to when they have
someone wishing to become a sponsor.
- The LAST ONE OUT at any time during the day -
LOCKS THE GATE!!!
There being no further business, a motion was made
and seconded to adjourn.
Respectfully,
Don Williams
