I have been putting regular updates in one of the threads in the fireside area but thought I would start this one just so I can post my updates in it. We started the Church group last year in late January and started out with a bang ending up with about 40 members by June. The average number of shooters per week ended up being between 15 and 20 with some diehard shooters as well as others (50-50). I did notice that every week the people coming rotated through the members. We do not charge a membership fee and all we ask is that if the person has it to donate a couple of bucks to help with targets, prizes from time to time and general up keep of the club. That has worked out well.
Here is last nights report.
I was very much encouraged last night at our group. We had the die hards as usual but we also had a couple new folks that when it came time to leave they said see you next week.
Over the night we had 11 people come. Eastern could not make it until later as he had a meeting but came and watched as he did not have a bow with him. We also had a husband and wife show up so the husband could look at and try a bow one of the regulars has up for sale. The both read our rules and then signed off on them to make them members. The wife shot many years ago and dug her bow out of storage and will be joining us in the near future. They will have to find a baby sitter for some nights but I hope will bring there 9 year old from time to time to teach her.
I am not sure what was up with me but it felt comfortable and I shot very well.
I can not say enough about firenocks target nocks. for shooting practice they are an awesome thing to have. I can see what I did wrong very quickly and know were I am on the target as soon as it hits instead of having to wait until I retrieve my arrows.
I felt very encouraged last night and look forward to the future for the club.
Thanks for all your support and encouragement.
