I'm not a mandatory practice type of guy, but if everyone who wants to attend 3D shoots over the next few months could be at the archery range at 1pm this Sunday. I will have a schedule of practice and shoots. I apologize for not being as on top of things as I hoped. My time is going to be very limited but I want to help the kids out as much as possible. See everyone on Sunday.

I’m reaching out to the Ashland area to gauge interest in an archery class. Begin January 2nd. Probably have to do it on Sunday afternoons at the Ashland Archery Club when weather permits. There will be entry level classes all the way up to advanced if the interest is there. All equipment can be provided and I am considering renting it out to be taken home to extend practice time.
There are a few interested. Just need a few more. Please reply in the comments or through messenger.

Great season this year. Ashland held their own against a well coached and talent heavy Ellinwood team. Look forward to building on this progress! Thank you To Bison Mercantile for stocking all the goodies that keep us shooting and for donating to this group of kids. Every dollar of entry fees for the season was spent on prizes, trophies and medals. And Bison Merc, P & S Security, Heartland Outdoors, Kansas Archery Center LLC, and Unbound Archery ( Nicholas Dawa) all came through to help out.
