We'd like to welcome back all of our loyal friends and attendees, AND invite any Traditional Archer who may have heard about "Sticks" but has never attended one of our 3D shoots. Just bring your longbow, recurve or selfbow, a handful of arrows, and your willingness to relax, laugh, and carry on as is normally found at "Sticks"....
As usual, nothing can be promised about the weather. But after reading the stories from the PA Bowsite threads, and seeing all the Facebook "selfies" of folks all layered up and sitting in tree stands, a little walk over the hillsides of the clubhouse course with friends and bows could be just what you need, even if it's no longer 60 degrees outside!
As the pictured flier notes, we'll start things up at 8 AM, and go til 1 PM. And if you feel like shooting the course more than once, that's always been OK with us.
Tell your friends about this first shoot, if they are not on the computer. And invite any new Archers that you may know. It's not "high stakes" or "cut-throat competition": it's just "Strictly Sticks"!

Thanks for your consideration! Hope to see you next Sunday!
See you Sunday Randy!
Yes, like "hawkeye in PA" said, we were blessed with superb weather. Yesterday, setting up the course in all that cold drizzle and rain...well, it dampened our spirits a bit. But, at 8 AM this morning, there was no rain, the sun was out, and the parking lot was filling quickly with Archers.
To quote a really funky 1970s disco song, "That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, we like it, uh-huh, uh-huh!!"
42 Archers took to the hills with bows and arrows. 42 Archers returned. (!!) Maybe not with all their arrows, but a sacrifice to the arrow gods is often just the talisman needed for future good shooting.
We had archers from literally down the street from the club, to one archer driving from Cleveland, leaving his home around 5 AM. And he stayed until the event was over. That is dedication to Traditional Archery!
THANK YOU to everyone who made Sticks a part of their pre-Thanksgiving schedules. We hope you enjoyed yourselves, we hope you return, and we hope to continue presenting an activity that warrants your efforts to join us!
Happy Thanksgiving, and see you in December!
