All right I have good news!

Another hurdle has been crossed. Bob, AKA Stone Sheep, the president of Three Trails Archery will be joining us for our meeting.

It will be nice to have him share some of the experiences that he has encountered while maintaining the Three Trails Archery Club, answer some of our questions and maybe give us a little guidance.

Thanks Bob I am glad you can join us.   :clapper:  

Also, the Three Trails shoot scheduled for Sunday 2/17/08 has been cancelled due to upcoming weather conditions. The shoot has been rescheduled. See the link below.

I am coming through KC around the 26-27th of Feb with my Pinzgauer (driving it home from Milwaukee. I am coming to see a fella in KC on my way to Golden Colorado.

Anything happening around that time??? Would sure like to meet some of the people on this site.

I live in the Yukon so we don't get many people out to shoot with and most are compounders (not that there's anything wrong with that right).

I will be bringing my bow with me and was hoping to get some shooting in.

I read in the thread about Cabelas - is that the store I buy some of my online stuff at?? Sorry we are so far north we have southern lights here and we have to order most things online. We even have more bears here than people LOVE THAT. I would like to pick up a 3d target or two to bring back to the YUKON with me.

Thanks a bunch

Jerry,

How can we contact you when you get here and how long do you plan to stay?

So, is anybody intersested in hitting Platte Falls before the Cabellas meeting?

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Can someone recap the plans that have been discussed on this thread. I read through it and missed the date for the meeting. Also, I thought in the beginning that it was mentioned that a club was not going to be formed, but now I am seeing that we are having a speaker to discuss the details of forming a club. I maybe missing something and I would like to go to the meeting.

Ricky,

Aeronut has it right Saturday, February 23-08 at 1:00. Our planned meeting spot will be the upstairs restaurant at Cabela’s. It is possible that the restaurant will be busy at 1:00 so we may have to spend some time walking around the store and wait for the restaurant crowd to thin out.

You will recognize me at the store because I’ll be the guy dressed in camouflage that has the goofy smile on his face.   :bigsmyl:  

   :biglaugh:   Just kidding… I will post a picture of myself on here soon so that you can I.D. me at the store.

The plan is to decide whether or not we want to form a club. There will be some legal efforts that will need to be made, individual responsibilities, club dues to be paid and I am sure many other things that will need to be done if we are to form a real archery club. So these are some of the subjects that we will be discussing. After hearing all of the requirements that need to be met to form a club, the majority of the group may decide that all that is really wanted is to gather once a month or so and shoot. Another purpose of the meeting is simply to introduce ourselves to other traditional archers in the area.

I will also post a meeting agenda (I will try to post the picture and the agenda today) for everyone to see and get some feedback from you guys on it.

Yes we will be having a guest. Bob Burns from Three Trails Traditional Archery Club will be joining us at our meeting. In the tread that you started, Bob offered to answer any question that we might have to get a club started so I took him up on his offer.

I hope to see you on Saturday.

Does seem a little long, but it looks like you're trying to cover a lot of ground...I'll be there, but I may need to "bug out" early as my wife has plans Saturday evening

If the meeting is too long how long would you like to meet? I am pretty green at this so your input is appreciated. I have opened my whole day up for this so time is not an issue for me.

I anticipated 15 people showing up for this meeting and calculated the time off of that. With a half hour allocated for introductions, that is 2 minutes per person.

The individual expectations portion of 1 hour 15 minutes allows each person 5 minutes to voice their thoughts.

The guess speaker portion of 1 hour is pretty much like the rest of this purely a guess. I am not expecting Bob to give a speech, but I am guessing there will be questions from the group that he can answer. It is very possible that he will answer all the questions during the “individual expectations” portion of the meeting and the hour allocated for him will vanish.

The agenda is really just a shot in the dark attempt by me to layout the subjects that I thought we might want to discuss in a structured format. I thought it might help everyone prepare their thoughts and questions before the meeting. If you guys want to do away with the meeting agenda, that is fine with me.   :bigsmyl:

Hey guys, been away from archery for quite some time but I hope to be able to get back into it soon. Have a half finished bow that's been screaming my name in the garage for a long time.

I will not be able to come to your meeting on the 23 but would be interested in reading any minutes. Also: when the weather's warmer some place like Shawnee Mission park would be a nice place to get together as they have a range and room for everyone to get together (and eat!)

Just a thought. Good luck with your meeting.

If everyone takes time to introduce and give their expectations, I think your 2 hour allotment on that will be fine (maybe you need to bring an egg timer);  if some are getting weary, they may not want to stay for Stone Sheep's talk.  I don't think we'll resolve everything in a single meeting...
Again, Tom, thanks for your efforts in putting this shindig together  :thumbsup:  
Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday
