Monthly American 900 Round
May 5, 2013

We had 20 shooters for the monthly 900.  Weather was excellent with our shooting line well protected from the wind.  We got to break in 5 new FITA targets.  A little sticky on pulling, but no pass throughs.  We backed the Cub target up to 40/30/20 for Jaylin to begin her practicing for the big step up to Youth class early next year.  Good shooting Jaylin.  Top compound Jerry Mash.  Top traditional John Scott.  We'll miss the last of our snow birds heading north next week, Jerry Mash and Jerry LaChance.  Our newly formed, bragging rights award, First Clean target, goes to Melanie White, on the first end at 50 yards.

April Monthly American 900

     What a monthly 900.  I think I counted 24 in the front field shooting and their were 10 or 12 on the back FITA range.  Good to see some visitors from other counties, Melanie White from Everglades, and Larry Michaels from Sarasota and Michelle Stall dropped in to visit.  Thanks to Jon Colman who helped run the youths on the back range.  A few got away with out giving me a score card but the ones that did are posted below.  If your score posted is different than you remember, maybe you should pick a different score keeper the next time, lol...  A new award is in the offering.  First clean target.  This months winner, Alan Letcher, at 50 yards.  Checks in the mail..  Had a tie for fouth place, including 10 count.  A single arrow shoot out would have been fun.  After the match those remaining chowed down on a sausage dawg...  Next month the Philadelphia Bowman will have one of their postal matches of "The Bowman Round".  If you missed it last year it was much fun, and by the way we won it.  They'll be stepping it up a notch this year, looks like as many as 20 teams scattered all over the world are signed up.  84 arrows at 80 yards, old style scoring on the FITA target, gold - 9, red - 7, blue - 5, etc.  Think about it, May 5th.

January 2013 Monthly 900

     The Monthly 900 on Sunday was the best attended yet.  We had 23 shooters on the line.  Perfect south Florida weather with light sun, no wind, and mild temperatures.  A rather unique "Robinhood" occured on target one at the 50 yard line.  A large diameter shaft sitting in the X ring, belonging to Jon Coleman, was struck from behind by a Nano belonging to Darrin McCutcheon.  The nock split and the nano traveled through the larger shaft, blowing the point out of the larger, to finish on the ground behind the target, vaneless.  The vanes of the nano were wedged in the split nock of Jon's arrow which was still on his shaft.
