The Pootatuck Archers

The shed is built! Huge thanks to Tom and Herb, who led and saw this project through, and everyone who turned up to help out!

We'll be finishing the shed Monday (10/14) beginning at 8 AM. Shingles, trim, and doors. Lunch provided!

We will be assembling the new shed Friday and Saturday. Volunteers welcome, wear sturdy boots and work gloves!

Thanks to all who helped with the shed removal: Herb, Billy, Tom, Peter, Chad, Cee, Ali, Dave, Dale, Gary, Todd, and Chris!

The shed has been taken down. Need people tomorrow at 8 am to load the scrap into a trailer (bring gloves and sturdy boots).

Just a reminder to be alert for animals on the range, and to give them lots of space!

Something wicked this way comes...

"Not all who wander are lost. Some are just looking for their arrows."

Please check the Lost Arrow Box -- it's getting full!

Here are the Transatlantic Shoot results! Each club shot 10 Field targets (40 arrows, max. score 200) and 10 3Ds (20 arrows, max. score 200); a perfect total score would be 400. A static course was set up in the practice area for those unable to walk the trails. We had 3 divisions: Compound, Recurve, and Self/Longbow.

1) William Hall (Pootatuck) 376
2) Bill McMahon (Pootatuck) 351
3) Chad Nehring (Pootatuck) 258
4) Sefan Purdy (Co60) 224

Recurve:

2) Ed Stoppard (Co60) 235
3) Christoper Harwood (Co60) 214
