As always, all of our shoots and range are open to all shooters. All shoots start at 9am with a 8:15 am sign up.

2-4   Tim Austin, secretary/treasurer of the FAA and SE councilman for the NFAA, is in intensive care in a Gainesville hospital.   As of yesterday, they didn't know what was wrong, but think maybe an infection of some kind.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.   If you are need to call about the indoor shoot this weekend in Newberry, call Bob Jones (FAA pres.) at (352) 586-8541.

2-2 We had a great turnout for the Fred Bremen 810 Invitational.  The weather started out a bit chilly, but did warm up so it was comfortable.  For those of you who are not familiar with what an 810 round is - it is just like a 900 round except the scoring is done with only the odd numbers (ie: 9, 7, 5, 3, 1 -- no 10's or X's).  Ivone Luchette shot an 808 -- yup - he only missed one out of the yellow and that was because of an inopportune wind gust.  Great shooting!  And another Happy Birthday to Fred. 

1-24  Thank you to everyone who came out for our indoor shoot at Accurate Archery - escpecially those who drove quite a ways for it.  It was a great success and everyone had a great time.  Thanks for supporting our club.

Note the earlier post about the indoor league -- the starting date has changed.

1-18   Meeting this Tuesday at Denny's  7pm.  Let's get the new year off to a good start!

1-8  Because of the weather, we will plan to start shooting the 3D at 10am and hope it has a chance to warm up a bit.  If people are there and want to start at 9 - we will go ahead and let them start.  Hopefully, the icicles will be melted by then.

1-8  Lessons for Jan 9 have been canceled due to weather and illness.  Please re-register for the lessons in February.

1-8   There is going to be an Indoor archery league starting at Accurate Archery starting Feb. 3 Thursday, February 11, at 6:30 pm.  The cost will be $10 per week and runs for 5 weeks.  Call Accurate Archery at (321) 751-2303 to sign up.  There are only 16 spots available, so call - don't delay.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

The following is a message from new President Angie Olds:

Brevard Archers wishes to thank Paul Tucker for his years of devotion and leadership. He has brought the club along with a steady dedication to the many details required to make Brevard Archers the most active archery club in central Florida. He has worked many long hours with organizations, including 4-H, to promote the sport of archery. The club looks forward to his continued support and participation in our events.

Any club is only as good as its members. Brevard Archers is proud to have some very devoted workers. The club would like to thank a few members who have gone above and beyond this last year to make sure that our range is safe and well maintained. A BIG thank you to (in no particular order); Buz Wood, Jim Lemon, Robert Gagliardi, Rob Dudley, Shawn Baillargeon, Ivone Luchette, Chuck Broadhurst, Lee Austin and Richard Finley. Thanks, guys for all your hard work.

The “Founding Father” of Brevard Archers, Fred Bremen Sr. is still very active in the club and well loved by all who know him. At the age of 84 he is our most senior member. Fred still prepares the target faces for the field and animal rounds as well as some other things that need doing. His advice and guidance is always appreciated. We all look forward to seeing him at our events.

Brevard Archers also wishes to thank Jim and Forest Palmer of Accurate Archery for their continued support and participation. Other sponsors we wish to thank include; Osceola Outfitters, Gator Pest Control, and Luchetti Construction.

I am looking forward to serving as the president in 2010 and appreciate all the kind words of support I have received. I have some big shoes to fill, but with such a great group of people to work with, I think I am up to the challenge.

Angie
