Senior Games
March 17th the City of Tallahassee hosted the Senior Games and archery was one of the events. The shoot was held at the Beau Turner Youth Conservation Center. TBA was well represented with- several members placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their respective classes. The high score for the tournament was shot by Richard Mann but because he is not yet 50 he was not eligible to receive any awards. For the record he shot an 864 out of a possible 900 points. This event should be held next year so put it on your calendar. It really was a lot of fun.

We have rescheduled the Professional Lessons with Curtis Beverly and Rob Smith for April 14th too.

If you have suggestions on ways we can improve our club then make plans to attend the next club meeting scheduled for April 10 at 6pm at the range. These meetings can be a little spirited but that is what a democracy is all about. If you want to discuss a particular item then be sure and email your new President at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The process is simple, we discuss any agenda item and if need be a motion is made to pass new policy. If the motion is seconded it is voted on by the members present. The motion will either pass or fail based on the vote. With the discussion for a name change coming up soon it is more important than ever that all members try to attend future meetings.
