Thanks again to Forrest (DrenlinJunkie), Donna (MommaD), and Derrick (bountyhunter), Steven and Eddie for all your hard work in helping LSBA put this thing on. Until you show up and help you dont really know what it takes.

I am proud to be a member of this organization.

Thanks to those that helped out. The short time I spent in the booth on Friday, gave me some lasting memories for sure. Some that were not smiling on the way in, had some big ole grins on the way out. A few of those little rascals can shoot. I had a good time working with all of the kids and the volunteers. See yall in Ft Worth.

BIG THANKS to all who helped out at the event...

Forrest, Donna and their daughter & her friend,
Mark and Kelby,
Derrick,
Russell,
Eddie & Steven,
Brandon and Jackie, and
Bobby

You all helped make the Youth Archery Booth at the TTHA show a success!! It is a lot of work and some sore muscles, but it is all worth it to see the smiles on the kids faces.

Bobby did a great job in signing up members and I appreciate Donna sitting and helping with the merchandise!

We also had to provide help at the Pop-up 3-D shoot, so we were a little stretched at times.

Lots of parents were asking about purchasing bows for their little ones, so that is a great sign for the future of archery! Hopefully, they will follow through with it.

You would not believe how many kids I saw go by that were pulling and clawing at their parents to bring them over so that they could shoot a bow. Bountyhunter, wish you could have been there on Sunday for the shoot off. We had a couple more trad guys show up. I have to say that Brandon can shoot his longbow. He won first, me second, and Dena third. I was shooting against Brandon for first place, and we were shooting very close until he bounced a arrow off the back of the bear and I was laughing at him and doing everything but kicking him, and then he started hitting twelve rings after that. It all was a lot of fun. Thanks again to everyone that stepped up and helped. We really could not have done it with out you. Bob

I almost cried when Derek broke his arrow. His arrows are Masterpieces, not your typical arrows which are used at 3-D events. He makes his own arrows and they are works of art. Truly art to be admired. He has amazing skillz!

Hope you are able to come out to our Pop-up 3-D Shoot on Aug. 23rd at BPS in Katy. We would love to have you come out and shoot! It is addictive. Bobby and I never shot 3-D much until we started shooting trad about 2 months ago.

At the TTHA Pop-up, we had a couple of qualifiers on Sunday. Robert and Lowell shot against each other. I had to shoot against Bobby. I've never been nervous shooting trad at a shoot, but I sure was at this one. It wasn't Trad friendly to begin with; shots were 20-35. Then for finals Jerry changed it and moved it in some. Bobby beat me by 2 points. Robert and Brandon shot against each other and I guess Brandon got warmed up!! Bobby and Brandon them shot for 1st and 2nd. After Brandon skipped an arrow off the bears back; he got serious and slammed 12s on the last 4 targets. Brandon won 1st, Bob 2nd and I got 3rd.

I really felt bad that I was not able to help out at the kids' shoot on Friday and Saturday. I had 2 root canals earlier in the week and was still feeling the effects. No way I could have done the bending and stooping that goes along with it and no way I could have spoken to the general public about LSBA or anything else as far as that goes. I finally started feeling better on Saturday evening and by Sunday morning, I was almost back to myself. I truly appreciate the volunteers that helped out during that time. I missed the kiddos' smiles while adding scores at the Pop-up Shoot.
