News Highlights
from Past Years |
| |
I
have left a few of the last few years News Flashes posted
as a loose reference as to where we have been and maybe where we are
going. You know though, if you are a
member, the best way to figure this out is to get involved in your
club, and if you are not a member yet, we would love to have you
join us. We
can always use help with directions. We
have been around for about 50 years now, and hopefully, some of you
will see us make 100. Good Shooting ..... Charles

Cowtown Bowmen had to relocate. The City of Fort Worth
offered to renew our lease for $141,048.00 a year or easy monthly
payments of $11,754.00 per month. Obviously a Non-profit Archery
Club could not
afford these prices. Our club will continue just as
it has for the past 50 years. We just need a new Range for practice
and tournaments. Club Meetings
will still be the third Thursday of the month.
We will no longer have use of the former Range/Property on Heron Drive after December 31, 2006.

Please remember that
Broadhead shooting is not allowed on the Range or any of the Cowtown
Bowmen property at any time. As
hunting season approaches each year we have had a few people shooting broadheads into our
practice, 3-D, and 2-D animal targets. Our practice bales and other
targets will be severely damaged if this continues. Also there is a
serious safety factor to consider and the fact that our insurance does not
allow the use of broadheads on our range. Please only use field points
while shooting at the Cowtown Bowmen range. We have a sign posted at the
Range so everyone will know that broadheads are not allowed.
Unfortunately there always seems to be a few people who don't believe the rules
really apply to them. You will incur a
fine or possibly loose your membership to Cowtown Bowmen if you are seen
shooting broadheads anywhere on the Cowtown Bowmen property.
This is a very serious matter and will be addressed
accordingly. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Also see
Range Rules. |

Christmas
Party!
Dec. 9th. --- We will roast chestnuts by the open fire and
sing carols around the Christmas tree. There may even be some
mistletoe.
The Club has the Turkey (or maybe
BBQ), so
please bring a covered dish to complete the meal. If you would
like to participate in the Chinese gift exchange, please bring
one wrapped gift ($5-$10.00). This can be a gag gift or
something someone might actually use. Gifts can swap up to three
times before they find a new home. This can be very funny! There
will be music, food, and lots of fun. Don't miss it!

Merry
Christmas --- Hope to see
everyone there! |

The scores from our Club
Shoot on Jan, 30th. were the first scores this year to be included
in our Club Championship series. All
scores I received were posted on the web site Jan. 30th. If I missed
entering your score, placed you in the wrong class or you believe
your score has been posted incorrectly, please let me know. Club
members are not required to post their scores, but may still have
their name listed just to show they shot. If you would rather not
have your score posted just let me know and I will remove it. Unless
there is an administrative error only the scores that are posted on
the web site are currently included for the Club Championship. Our
club Events Chairman keeps all of
the members score cards that were turned in at each Club Shoot for
verification. Scores listed on the actual score card will be your
official score. Please contact the
webmaster for corrections or omissions to the Club
Championship Score Board. Shoot straight, but most of all HAVE FUN! |

Don't
forget to check out the Hunt Log
and be sure you take pictures of your harvest this year. It
definitely doesn't have to be a big buck. Any legal bow harvested
animal is
an accomplishment. There is a easy to use ON LINE FORM on the Hunt
Log page for submitting your harvest. If you have any problems with
the form just let me know. If you can't email your pictures
then just put a stamp on them and mail them to me with a note
stating who you are and what you sent. My
snail mail address is: Charles Seab - 7501 Timber Ridge Court - Fort
Worth, TX. 76179 I know some of
our members do not hunt, but you can also email pictures (please
include a description) of any other archery related activities. I
will even stretch the archery part and say any good pictures you
would like to share with the membership. These pictures will be
posted in our club
Photo Gallery. Let's get busy with that
camera!
Note: All large pictures will be resized to
approximately 640 x 480. This is usually the largest pictures
seen on the site. Smaller pictures are fine, but resizing them
larger usually affects the quality. Smaller pictures will usually
not be resized. Please submit pictures in JPG format if possible. If
you have any questions or need help with your pictures or the Hunt
Log Form please contact the
