Volunteers for Access Life Expo- February 18

Gold Coast Shootout- Starting December 18
For years, Gold Coast Archers has participated in the annual Traveling 3D series along with neighboring clubs here in South Florida. This year some of the other clubs and the organizers have decided to not continue. As a club, we have decided that we would be missing out on an incredible opportunity for GCA and our members if we didn’t continue to do this ourselves. After much discussion we have created the Gold Coast Shootout. It will consist of 5 shoots, all at Gold Coast Archers, from December through May. Each shoot will cost $20 per shooter. $10 will go to GCA, $5 goes toward the payout at each shoot (based on score), and $5 will go toward prizes at the end of the series. Those prizes will consist of hunts, archery equipment, etc. The number of these prizes will be determined by donation and the number of participants in the series. These awards will not be decided by performance, class or age, but will be decided by participation. For each shoot you participate in, you will receive that many entries into the drawing to win those awards. Everyone has a chance to be a winner. There will be classes for all ages and shooting styles. Even if there is 1 shooter in your division, you will still win the $5 payout and receive an entry into the drawings. Kids will not receive money at each shoot, but will receive a trophy, medal, or plaque. They will however, still be entered into the drawings at the end of the shoot. Gold Coast will put on their famous pot luck lunch at each shoot. Cost will be $7 for lunch. Members from all clubs are welcome. This will be a great opportunity for new shooters as well. Anyone can be a winner. Dates are listed on the right.
November 19-20
There is quite a bit going on at the club this weekend. There is a Junior Olympic Archery Tournament Saturday morning at 9am. All kids are welcome to shoot. Cost is $10 to cover ribbons and pins. Call or email John Bowersox for more info. Also Saturday morning, some other members will be setting up for the club 3D shoot the next day. Any help you could offer would be appreciated. Sunday our club shoot begins at 9am. Be there early to register and get your group assignments. The weather has been beautiful. It should be a great weekend to shoot a bow!
Reminder
Several members have mentioned that the target butts on the practice range are starting to get worn and the arrows are passing through. Please remember to stagger your targets so that you aren't shooting down the middle of the targets. We are only getting about 25% of the potential use out of targets because we aren't using the four corners. Each target butt can hold four targets so please use the corners to prolong the life of what we have.
