Venture Crew nights are now “Community Shoot” nights Gabrielle Garrett

Venture Crew nights, scheduled on the 2nd and 4th Fridays will now be "Community Shoot Nights," where the gate will be open at 7:00 p.m., and any club member and their guests are welcome to come and shoot with us. These nights will be for practice or 450 Indoor Rounds. Hosted by Gabrielle Garrett and Dean Williams.

January Board motions Gabrielle Garrett

The following motions were passed at the January 19 Santa Cruz Archers Board meeting.

1. Put a log book at indoor range for all working members to log their work hours.

2. Have working members sign up to maintain an outdoor target for year, per the club constitution guidelines.

3. Put up a “No Pets Allowed” sign at indoor range. Dogs will still be allowed outdoors if on a leash per the park rules.

4. Add a “Do Not Enter” sign just past the practice range area to discourage non-archers from hiking or biking through into live range areas.

5. Have a 2016 Club Competition of scored events throughout the year that can be used for nice awards which will be given out at our year-end dinner. Each participant must be an approved club member and can shoot in up to 8 club shoots for scores. Participants may purchase up to 8 special competition scorecards at $1 each for the duration of year (to be purchased at club meetings or at designated times on weekends). The highest scores of two possible scorecards per person will be counted, for four official club tournaments of your choice: Indoor 300 Round, Indoor 450 Round, Outdoor Field/Hunter Round, and a specified 3D tournament (event and scoring TBA) or stump shoot. Participants must choose one bowstyle to compete with in all club competition tournaments in this calendar year. There will only be 4 age categories as follows: Under age 12; 12-17 y.o.; 18-54 y.o.; and 55+.

6. Hold a secret ballot, late in the year, for 10 club superstars of 2016. The voting will be based on who has done the most outstanding work for the club and is not to be based on who is the best archer. The 10 members with the most votes will also get special awards at the year-end dinner.

Holiday dinner and novelty shoot deemed a success! Gabrielle Garrett

The Dec. 6 outdoor holiday novelty shoot was a fun family event and included a few non-members. Andy put up fun “12 Days of Christmas” themed targets on the practice range, including toys and rubber chickens to shoot at.

The dinner was just for club members, and 42 members attended. Erick's smoked turkey was amazingly delicious, and he even made cranberry sauce for it. All the foods and desserts were delicious, and we were all stuffed when the meal was over. Susan Bertram made lovely holiday table decorations with jars of candy canes and light strings.

2015 was a great year for Santa Cruz Archers, and it was so nice for everyone to get together at the end to celebrate. Hopefully, this will be an annual event.

You should do light maintenance such as picking up trash and pulling Scotch broom. Report any needed repairs to a Board member. We have a signup sheet that we bring to the monthly club meeting.

a. Erick will be changing out the locks on the back rooms. Exchange old keys for new as needed.

Please log your time when you come through the range.

e. The Board discussed adding an “Active Archery Range” sign along the entrance road to alert hikers/bikers. We should also put some range use waivers outside in a waterproof bin.

f. Gabrielle has a proposal for a club member awards competition (see new business).

g. The CBH Big Game Club holds an annual raffle (see new business).

h. Reminder that if you are hosting a shoot, remember to collect the fees. At least have archers buy the paper target for the indoor shoot, or the fee for the outdoor shoot.

President’s report (Andy Sterbenz) 1. Happy New Year.

2. The Mission Trails Bowhunter Assn. Regional Board met on December 16. • Belle Leporini volunteered as the Regional

Treasurer/Secretary • SCA won the Club Of The Year competition. Top 3 in the

standings were SCA (186), MMB (144), and BMB (102). • The Board approved adding young archers to the club

competition. PW, C, Y & YA earn points for participation starting this year.

• Archers can only compete as part of one club, so whichever club you declare at the first shoot is it for the year.

• Regional membership is a nested system. You can join just MTBA ($10/year); or you can join CBH/SAA and they enroll you in MTBA based on address; or you can join NFAA and they will enroll you in CBH/SAA, and thus MTBA.

• The Regional Board approved donating $500 to the CBH Legislative Fund and $500 to the CBH Archery Foundation (future museum).

• The 2016 Regional Shoots will be Field Round Sunday, April 10 (SCA), 3D Sunday May 22, 900 Round in August, 450 Round 12/13 November.

4. Cody asked if we can add more style categories for young archers. Tyson pointed out that NFAA defines the classes and they may have fewer for youths and cubs. Cody will look up the rules and report back.

5. Tyson asked if we wanted to try using foam bales on the indoor range. After a brief discussion, he moved we spend up to $400 to build a few test bales and set them up on the indoor range. Second by Rob. Passed many to none, with 1 abstaining.

6. Tyson mentioned we need to replace many outdoor bales. Rob moved we order 30 superbales, with a budget not to exceed $2,500. Second by Marcie. Passed many to none.

7. Emery moved that we purchase white paint and supplies to repaint the indoor range (except the mural areas), budget up to $200. Second by Jerry. Passed many to none, with one abstaining.

8. Larry mentioned that they had a near-incident on the outdoor range with two confrontational archers. Henry pointed out that the City’s guidance is to dial 911 if you feel threatened. The outdoor range is a City park, so the club does not have any enforcement authority.
