Folks, with all of us hoping for the best for our country, I'm feel the last thing we all are concerned about is having fun flinging a few arrows.
That's who we are, Americans caring for other Americans.
With that said, I haven't read here or other places where someone has criticized any organization for canceling their event over the caution of looking out for their archery family member. NO, all have offered their support.
Again, I'm not planning on canceling the Howard Hill Classic, HOWEVER, anything could happen by May 16th, 2020, my cut off period for making a final decision.
NOW, I am having to make a few necessary early decisions.
Because of the late date to decide to continue with the HH Classic, I've decided to try and keep from spending extra funds
I know I've said I'd like to put out a New Cubs Course, and have already had many to commit to helping me with the funding of these targets. Because of the late date I might have to order the targets and to possibly cancel, I decided this project can wait until next year.
I have contacted those donors and explained this to them and they have all been extremely understanding and told me to either hold on to the monetary donations or items they donated, OUTSTANDING PEOPLE HERE FOLKS.
I also contacted Kerri Doyle with "Traditional Bowhunter Magazine"and explained the situation with her. If y'all remember "Traditional Bowhunter Magazine" was co-sponsoring the "Championship Shoot Down". She is good with whatever I decide to do and will work with me for next year. What a CLASSY YOUNG LADY Kerri Doyle is.
A couple of other things I'd like to add. I won't be ordering t-shirts this year, I'd hate to have a box full of dated t's and have to eat the cost on them.
Folks, last but certainly not least. when people compete, we like to try and reap the reward with the reward of placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
This year, because of the uncertainty, I won't be ordering the plaques I've given away for those places.
I DO, HOWEVER, have 1st Place Belt Buckles for each "Division". SO, everyone will be shooting and trying to kick butt for 1st place only, GOOD LUCK, LOL.
Let me also say, if the Howard Hill Classic goes on, regardless of the turn-out, there WILL be a "Championship Shoot Down" and each 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Winner will receive the $300 ~ $200 ~ $100 Prize.
FOLKS, LET US ALL PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY, and hope the remaining traditional archery events happen for our great Traditional Archery family.
