BULLSEYE BULLETIN

AUGUST 2011

A Few Words from the MAC President…

Where has the summer gone? The kids are getting ready to go back to school and our last shoot of the year is at the end of the month.

The range closes on September 1st and we start focusing on this year’s hunting season. Some of our members will be traveling out west for some big game hunting before our season starts here in VA. Until then, we have the club awards banquet on September 10th to look forward to. This will be our 3rd Annual event, where the food is always great, there will be many door prizes to give away and also some items will be up for a silent auction. So come out to the banquet, bring your family, there is always some surprise awards and one might be for you.

Thanks, Wade

Have any photos or ideas you would like to see posted on our club web-site? Please send me an email: macarchery@yahoo.com or call 540-683-0266. Thanks, Gina

BULLSEYE BULLETIN

JULY 2011

A Few Words from the MAC President…

Our summer shooting schedule is almost over with just two more big 3D Shoots and about five Thursday Night 3D Shoots. Remember, you need at least three scores to qualify for 3D Shooter of the Year, which will be decided at the Greg Sisk Memorial, 3-Man Team Shoot on August 27th.

We just had our club annual and for the most part, I think it was a total success. I think everyone had fun, especially with the novelty shoots. Lewis Armstrong from Augusta Archers, was the big winner in the Iron Buck Shoot. Gina Nadzam, Charlie Wright and Dalton Jenkins were all winners in the Jug Shoot. Charlie Wright won the Long Shot competition with a 100 yard shot at a balloon. Jared Williams won the Coon Shoot by defeating JR Kirby in a shoot off. And last but not least, Jayson Sealock won the TUFF-Man 3D shoot. Thanks to all that donated food, cooked, helped in the kitchen, registered shooters, set ranges and prepared the range for this shoot. It was a total club effort and it was good to see so many involved in helping out.

Also in this newsletter, check out a new feature called Member Profile. This month’s member profile is Charlie Wright.

Thanks, Wade

BULLSEYE BULLENTIN

Welcome Spring ~ April 2011 ~ Welcome Outdoors

A Few Words from the MAC President…

The winter and indoor season have come to an end. Congratulations go out to Zach Beaver, George Jenkins, Arthur Sommers and Charlie Wright for winning the Thursday league and Vance Cave, Greg Petefish, Ralph Santmyers and Charlie Wright for winning the Sunday league. Both championships were settled by a margin of 2-points or less. I would also like to thank those who donated food for the Sunday league championship, Tommy and Crystal Jenkins, Vance and Barbara Cave, Gina Nadzam and the Frenz family.

Now that indoor season is over it’s the start of our outdoor season. Thursday night 3D Shoots are back and we are paying back money as long as we have 10 shooters or more. Anyone interested in shooting an Outdoor Spot League this year, please contact me or sign up at the Outdoor Range pavilion. If we do not have much interest we will probably not have a league this year. Also, our first VBA Shoot was held on April 3rd with about 10 field shooters and 13 3D shooters. Thanks once again to all those that showed up for the work parties, getting our range in shape and ready for the season.

On another note, due to items disappearing from the Indoor Building, there is now a sign-in sheet posted inside the building. You must sign in and out if you use the indoor building. Exceptions to this include scheduled club meetings and shoots. If items continue to show up missing, members will lose their unlimited access.

Please plan to attend the May 6th meeting, there will be important matters discussed and all members are encouraged to attend.

Thanks, Wade

A Few Words from the MAC President…

Hunting season is over; I hope everyone had a successful season. Remember to get me pictures of your archery harvests; you’ll be eligible for awards at our annual banquet later this year. We may also put them in the newsletter or on the website.

The results of the MAC Hunting Contests are in. The Biggest Buck by antler score went to Wade Colton with a 9-pointer. The Biggest Buck by weight with a 135 pound buck was Wade Colton. No one, believe it or not, entered any animals into the Biggest Doe Contest. Last but not least, the Most Squirrels Contest was won by Reece Hensley and Wade Colton with 101 squirrels, narrowly beating Dave Robinson and Zachery Lower by just 4 squirrels.

Indoor season is well underway with 12 teams on the Sunday League and 8 teams on the Thursday League. If you’re not on a team and would like to shoot, there are always open spots, so come on out for some indoor fun.

I’d like to welcome new members, Gene Clem, Clint Keller, Nataleigh Lower, Micah Frenz and Zachary Lower. Remember, membership renewals are past due, please get them in to Gina.

Thanks and Good Shooting, Wade

A Few Words from the MAC President.......

The heat of the summer is still upon us but just around the corner hunting season will be here. There is not much time to practice and get those bows tuned. The Thursday night 3D shoots last until the end of the August and we have our last 3D shoot "The Greg Sisk Memorial 3-Man Shoot" on August 28th. You still have enough time to get your three scores in to qualify for "3D Shooter of the Year".

Last month was a busy month for shooting at MAC, with our 4-Man Team Shoot. 1st Place went to Tommy Jenkins, Brian Benson, Authur Sommers and Wade Colton. Brian Benson had the high score with a 191. The food was great again, thanks to all those who prepared and donated food. Also thanks to John Barbee for donating the pig. We also had our Annual Shoot last month. We had a fair amount of shooters and a whole lot of fun. Justin Lloyd won the Long Distance Shot at 104 yards. Wade Colton won the 1st round of the Iron Buck Contest at 50 yards, while Arthur Sommers took the second round. Wade Colton and Charlie Wright tied in the Coon Shoot and split the money. Finally, Ray Kimble from Shenandoah Archers, won the TUFFMAN 3D shoot. Again the food was excellent and we really appreciated all those who brought food.

Food donations will also be needed for the 3-Man Shoot on August 28th and our Annual Awards Banquet which is scheduled for September 25th. Speaking of our banquet, I believe it will be bigger and better than last year, with more awards, great food, door prizes, and raffles for some great gear. Please plan to attend; you just may be receiving an award.

Until Then, Wade

*********************************************************

A Few Words from the MAC President.......
If you like to shoot archery and have fun, July is a great month. With five Thursday nights in this month to shoot 3D's, our 4-Man 3D Team Shoot, plus our Annual where there will be a F/H Round both Saturday and Sunday, a "TUFF" Man 3D Shoot, a Coon Shoot on Saturday night and some novelty shoots, not to mention great food, horseshoes and possibly a card game. If you would like to compete for club champion, you must shoot the Annual F/H Round and have a total of at least three scores.

On another note, I had the pleasure of shooting a spot round with Tim Frenz. It was his first time shooting spots and I want to congratulate him on shooting over a 500 score his first time out.

The few who shot the 2-Man 1/2 and 1/2 Shoot also had the pleasure of shooting with a guest, Barney, from Washington State who was in the area and saw our website. Sorry, but I don't remember Barney's last name. Anyways, Arthur Sommers and Jeremy Spiker won the shoot. Brian Benson also won the novelty shoot by hitting an aluminum can at 103 yards.

On a final note, turnouts for meetings and work parties have been really low. We have a lot of shoots this month and a lot of work that needs to be done. I would really like to see some able bodies at the range to help out. Also, side dishes will be needed and appreciated for the 4-Man Team Shoot and Club Annual, please contact Gina Nadzam for more info.

Thanks, Wade

A Few Words from the MAC President.......

Our outdoor season is fully underway with Thursday Night 3Ds, the 2-Man Spot League and our first major 3D shoot of the year this month. Congratulations to the 50/50 payback winners, Jayson Sealock and Tim Reedy on May 6th - George Jenkins and Tommy Jenkins May 21st. So far these are the only Thursday shoots that we’ve had enough shooters to payback. So come on out and just maybe you could win too.

Our 2-Man Unknown Team Shoot on May 8th went very well. We had a good turnout and a very challenging course. The winners were: 1st Place-Jeremy Spiker and Jay Sealock; 2nd Place-Tommy Jenkins and Gina Nadzam; 3rd Place-JR Kirby and myself. MAC also raised over $100 for the March of Dimes with a 3D Shoot that was held on May 14th. Thanks to all who participated and donated money.

I want to thank all those who showed up for the work party on April 24th, Dave Robinson, Al Painter, Gina Nadzam and Hunter Munson. Also thanks to Arthur Sommers for spraying the range and grounds for ticks and chiggers. Hopefully this will help deter those little bloodsuckers.

We would also like members to submit photos of your hunting harvest to post on the MAC website for a new hunting gallery.

On a final note, I’m concerned about all the negative things being said about the range and the way shoots are run. Remember, this is “your” club. If you see something that needs to be done, take some initiative and help out rather than complain. If you have not paid your dues, then you should not complain at all. This is not meant to make anyone mad but to get club members to work together and do their part to make this the best club possible.

Thanks and I’ll see ya on the Range, Wade.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Yes, it is that time again. I'm getting great input to FLIGHT from VBA members and through you hope to keep the momentum. Can you please let your members know that for the summer I am looking for articles/information in the categories listed below. The articles don't need to be long. And, if pictures are available that would be great in .pdf format. Also, if a member does not feel comfortable writing an article, have him/her call me. We can discuss the info over the phone, I'll draft the article and send it to them for approval.

Trophy Room -- Anything about hunts left over from last year or turkey/hog or other hunts this year. Or, just a general story about hunting -- challenges, funny events, beauty of the outdoors, etc.

Club article -- Anything about a VBA club. I thought I heard someone mention they might do an article on the Iron Man Shoot???? Other ideas include short history of club, support to charities, involvement with education programs, etc.

Club ads -- We can print an ad for a key club event, e.g. annual shoot, etc. This issue we hope to have ads for the Dutch & Mertie and Iron Man shoots. Ads can range from a full page to a quarter page depending on space available.

Recipes -- I don't have one for this issue. Get some with author's name and send them to me. I'll feed them into the FLIGHT over the next few issues (pun intended....).

Idea Corner -- Each club has something they think is mundane, but would be an idea for others. For example, this issue we will run pictures and have an article about the methods used at Augusta to hang bows and store bow cases. Routine requirement, interesting solution. Please think about your situation and send an idea.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. DEADLINE TO GET ME "STUFF" IS JUNE 14. EARLIER WOULD BE BETTER SO I WON'T BE SURPRISED BY A LOT OF INFORMATION AT THE LAST MINUTE.

Regards,

Dave

It’s a new year and we are getting off to a great start. New Executive Members have taken their positions and the transition went smooth. The Indoor Leagues are up and running and I’m glad to say the Sunday League is full and we have 9-teams on Thursday nights. If you’re not on a team, and would like to shoot anyways, come on out - there are usually open lanes, especially on Thursday nights.

New MAC shirts, sweatshirts and hats have arrived. If interested, see JR Kirby, he can also order special colors or other items from the catalog. A sign up sheet and prices are posted at the Indoor Building.

Thanks to Jeremy Spiker and Jared Williams for delivering and splitting a load of wood for the Indoor Building. Also thanks to Dana Colton and Lindsey Brown for helping out in the kitchen during the Indoor League Shoots.

A FEW WORDS FROM OUR PRESIDENT…
Fellow MAC Archers, lots of news to tell you about this month. First, applications and dues are now due for the 2010 year. Elections were held and we now have some new executive members. First let me thank the outgoing executives for a job well done in taking this club to the next level. The new executives are JR Kirby, VBA Representative; Jeremy Spiker, Range Captain; and Gina Nadzam, Secretary. Congratulations, I know you guys will continue the trend to make this a bigger and better club. I also want to thank those that sent their ballots in and have already paid their dues.

Hunting season is winding down but there is still some time to get in some late season bow hunting. Please send pictures of your harvests for the newsletter and website. Congratulations to Dave Robinson and Reece Hensley on their Archery Bear harvests.

Indoor season is right around the corner and there is lots of news to report. JR Kirby and Greg Sisk have installed tile floors in the kitchen and wood stove room, thanks guys! Sunday Indoor League is full and will run for 12 weeks starting January 3rd at 1:00pm. There are still openings available in Thursday Indoor League which starts January 7th at 7:00pm. The Indoor Building will be open Sundays in December at 11:00am for practicing with a $5.00 charge for unlimited shooting. There are some new rules this year for the indoor leagues that were voted on at the last meeting. They will be posted at the building and explained before the first shoots. We also need wood donations for heating the building and volunteers to help run the kitchen or donate food dishes.

On a final note, I want to thank all members of the club for allowing me to preside, it is something I enjoy doing and take seriously. I will continue to do what it takes to make this club grow and be better for all the members.

See you at the Indoor Range,
Wade

A Few Words From the MAC President..

Lots of news and information to share this month. Congratulations go out to Brian Benson, Joseph Dawkins and Phil Painter for winning the 3-Man 3D Shoot. Charlie Wright, Greg Sisk and I (Wade Colton) took second. Joseph Dawkins had the high score. JR Kirby won the “Iron Buck” contest; Greg Sisk and I tied in the 100 yd. Balloon Shot; Jeremy Spiker and I won the Horseshoe Tournament.

The 1st Annual MAC Banquet, I think, went really well. Thanks to all who supplied food and congratulations to all the members who received awards. Hopefully this will continue to grow and be better every year.

Our next meeting will be November 6th. We will be taking last call for nominations of Executive Members. We will also be discussing rules for this year’s upcoming Indoor Season, so come out to the meeting; you could win $160.00 and nominate members who you think could better this club.

On a final note, congratulations to Gina Nadzam on her very first Bow Harvest. Way to go Gina!

A Few Words From the MAC President..

Outdoor season is winding down and everybody is starting to look towards hunting season. I’m glad to report that Massanutten made a good showing at the VBA 3-D Fall Classic. Charlie Wright is State Champion winning the AMFS Division. MAC had three women take the top three spots in the AFBHFS, Gina Nadzam-State Champion, Karen Williams-2nd and Lindsey Brown-3rd. Also of note, Jeremy Spiker took 2nd in the AMBHFS; Arthur Sommers was 5th, Wade Colton 6th and Jared Williams 11th. Great job guys!

In other news, MAC will be having its 1st Awards Banquet on September 26th at the Indoor Building . Please plan on attending. This banquet, I hope, will grow bigger and better through the years. It will be a Pot Luck Dinner, so please bring a dish and/or dessert if attending and BYOB. The banquet starts at 6:00pm for social hour, dinner at 7:00pm, followed by awards and fun.

The pot for the drawing at the Monthly Meeting is still growing. The latest member drawn was Tim Frenz. Plan to attend the meeting on September 4th, the pot is now $120.00. Another reason to attend the meeting is a chance to voice your opinion on the way the club is run and to participate in the many hunting competitions we have planned (Squirrel Contest, Big Buck and Big Doe Contest).

On a final note, the terms of the executive members are about to expire so anyone interested in running for a position or nominating someone, please plan on attending the next few meetings.

Thanks,

Wade

A Few Words From the MAC President..

This has been a busy month at the MAC Range. The 4-Man Team shoot, I think, was a big success. We had nine teams, loads of fun and great food. I want to apologize to some of the Shooters that were misinformed about the shoot being a money payback. If you ever have questions about shoot prices, dates or need any other information, please check the MAC website (macarchery.blogspot.com) or call me personally.

Thanks go out to Jeremy Spiker and Jared Williams for setting the range; John Barbee for donating the Pig; Keith Maddox and Brian Benson for sand in the Horseshoe Pits; Tommy and Crystal Jenkins for the fabulous pork rub; Bradley Robinson for digging the hole to cook the pig, and all those who donated the great side dishes. Thanks also to Dave Robinson and Al Painter for all the work they’ve done on the Field Range, and Reece Hensley and Dave Robinson for their work on the concrete slab and the bridge to the practice range. Thanks guys the range looks great! Winners of the 4-Man shoot were Al Painter, Jeremy Dean, Vance Cave and Mitch Stonesifer.

Our Annual was also a great success. Thanks again to all those that donated side dishes, JR Kirby for cooking the chicken and Gina Nadzam for running the kitchen. Thanks to Jeremy Spiker for helping me with setting up the “Tuffman” 3D Range and George Jenkins for loaning us the Iron Buck. We had quite a few Shooters (Spots and 3D) and the novelty shoots were really fun. Arthur Sommers won the 100 yard Balloon Shoot, JR Kirby won the Iron Buck Shoot and Justin Lloyd won the Tuffman 3D Shoot. JR Kirby and Robbie Atkins won the Horseshoe Tournament on Saturday evening and Brian Benson won the 50/50 raffle. Thanks to all those that participated.

The Spot League is now over, with Al Painter and Phil Painter taking first place. The Club Championship Trophy will be given at a later date, when we have our banquet. We will also be discussing the banquet at the next meeting, so please plan to attend and share your ideas.

I would also like to welcome new members Greg Goode and family and Tim Frenz and family. Hope to see you on the range.

Don’t forget Aug 29th is our last big 3D shoot of the year, the “Greg Sisk Memorial, 3-Man 3D Shoot". It’s a great shoot to celebrate the life of a great man and great friend. If you want to shoot for 3D Shooter of the Year, you must have three scores before this shoot to qualify, so get out to the range on Thursday evenings and shoot some 3Ds.

Wade

FYI…
*Tad Hartsell was the name drawn at the July meeting, and since he was not in attendance, the pot is now up to $100... The last meeting took 12 minutes, so that would have been nearly $7 a minute… hmmm… pays to show up!

A Few Words From the MAC President..

There is a lot of news and upcoming events this month. First off, Troy Kirby would have won the drawing for showing up at the June meeting. The new total for the July 3rd meeting will be $80.00.

Al Painter and Greg Sisk won the Half and Half Shoot on June 6th, congratulations.

The Spot League still has a few weeks left, and Thursday Night 3Ds are not showing very big turnouts. It’s never too early to start practicing for hunting season, so let’s get out there and have some fun. We only had 13 Shooters for our Father’s Day Spot Shoot.

The new 3D Targets are in and I’ve had the pleasure to shoot them. I think they’re going to hold up well. The arrows pull fairly easy and the holes seem to swell shut.

Now for new business and upcoming events: The 4-Man 3D Team Shoot is July 11th. The pig will be furnished by John Barbee and any side dish donations will be greatly appreciated. Due to the bad economy, not as much adult beverage will be provided this year, but for $25.00 a person you can shoot and eat all you want. Also, our Annual is on July 18th and 19th, side dish donations would also be appreciated for this shoot. There will be lots of fun for everyone – Spot Shoots – 3Ds – Novelty Shoots – Coon Shoot – Horseshoes – Cards – Camping, an all around good time.

Hope to see all of you there. Come out and support your Club.

Wade

A Few Words From the MAC President..
Outdoor season is in full swing. Thursday night 3D’s have been up and running and the Spot League has now started on Tuesday nights. Come out and shoot and have some fun. The range is in the best shape ever, it has now been inspected and many improvements have been made. The practice range has been moved, which now gives us the opportunity to offer primitive camping on the old practice range.

New 3D Targets have been ordered and should be here soon. Congratulations go out to Vance Cave and Phillip Morris for winning the 2-Man Unknown 3D Shoot on April 25th. Also, congratulations to JR and Heather Kirby on the birth of their daughter Kayla.

Many thanks go out to the people listed below for their work on the range recently: Jared Williams, Tim Reedy, Brian Benson, Al Painter, Reece Hensley, JR Kirby, Dave Robinson, Hunter Munsen, Jayson Sealock, Robbie Atkins and Gina Nadzam. A special thanks to Tommy Jenkins for supplying the Dozer and Wood Chipper, Vance Cave for the use of his Bobcat, Ralph Santmyers for operating the Dozer and Bradley Robinson for using his Tractor to spread gravel and York rack. When you see any of these guys, thank them and tell them how good the range looks.

The drawing at the monthly meetings is now up to $60.00. Keith Maddox was drawn at the April meeting and Jared Williams was drawn at the May meeting. Don’t let someone else claim money you could win! Show up at the meetings, it’s that simple. Remember, club policies and decisions are made by those who care enough to attend and participate in the monthly meetings.

A Few Words From the MAC President..

Bow season is here! I want to congratulate Aron Robinson and Phil Morris for harvesting their first ever archery deer! If you would still like to get in on the Big Buck Contest, see Arthur Sommers. And if you do happen to have luck this archery season, get pictures to Michele Sommers or myself; you just might see yourself in a newsletter or on the web page…

Many thanks go out this month. First I would like to thank Dave Robinson and Brian Benson for attending the VBA scheduling meeting to represent our Club. Thanks to all the kids and parents for coming out to the trout rodeo, fun was had by all and the meal afterward was great. Hunter Munson and Emma Benson both caught Golden Trout. Thanks to Aaron Benson for bringing cooking oil, fish and hush puppy batter, and Tommy Jenkins for cooking the fish to perfection. Thanks to Arthur and Michele Sommers for donating prizes and making buttons for the kids.

In other news, some work has been done at the indoor building-- Phil Morris laid tile on the kitchen counters, Dave and Aron Robinson make and hung wall cabinets. Sink is installed and water is on and running. Come check it out!

Thanks, and good luck hunting,
WADE

A Few Words From the MAC President..
By the time you receive this newsletter, our Spot League should be finished. 3D’s are still on Thursdays until September. We have had great turnouts for 3D’s. It’s not too early to start planning and practicing for hunting season, so plan on coming out to shoot.

We have some really big shoots coming up. Our 4-Man Team Shoot is always a great time. If you don’t have a team, and would like to shoot, show up! Someone is always looking for a teammate. Also, our Annual is this month, which would be a great time to invite a guest to come shoot since there’s so much going on.

Congratulations to Vance Cave for winning 30 target 3D shoot with a score of 301!!

In wrapping things up, I would like to thank Ronnie Benson for donating back stop material, Reece Hensley and Vance Cave for rebuilding target butts, Bradley Robinson for mowing the practice range, Buck Higgins for general mowing, Jeremy Spiker’s Dad Pete Pomeroy for fixing the lawnmower, and Wayne East for spreading gravel at the Indoor Building’s parking lot. Thanks to you all, we really appreciate it!

Thanks, and Good Shooting,

The Birth of a Blog...

2008-06-13T20:42:00.000-04:00

Rather than spend a bunch of money on a website that may or may not get used, I thought I'd sign us up for a blog first, and we'll see how it goes. I will post our newsletters here, and any important Club information.. Feel free to comment: give suggestions on either the blog or the Club, or just let me know you're checking it out so I can gauge whether this is a successful form of communication with the Club Members.

I have also signed us up for an email... MACArchery@yahoo.com. Feel free to contact me through that address with suggestions, questions, whatever. I'm going to try to put lots of pictures in here too, so unless you want to see only my photos, send me yours. If you see a photo you find offensive or you just don't want on here, please let me know and I will remove it.

Since this is the rookie run of the blog, I'll post a copy of last month's newsletter. This also gives me a chance to see if it will work!
