| State Field Archival Archery State Field Reminder Please get your registration in for the state field as soon as possible so the organizers can make proper preparations. Especially those who plan to shoot the unmarked. This round is a courtesy for those who want to use it in preparation for the NArchival Archery National Field. We only have 10 people signed up so far and if that is all the interest shown, we will not go through the efforts to have this round if you don't make the effort to sign up. The field round is shaping up quite well, we believe it WILL BE challenging. I mentioned before to prepare physically as the course is over a mile. Wear proper shoes/hiking boots to protect the ankles as many of the shooting positions will NOT be perfectly flat or even near flat. Long pants/trousers would be advisable to ward off stingers, stickers, brush, etc. We did manage to place one target perfectly flat and perfectly straight but that is the only one, maybe two. Be aware of your sight settings as we have two targets that shoot into the sky so set your sight properly or prepare for a long hike to the next county to retrieve your arrow or just say good-bye to it. This will be a very good field round and the 20th State Field Championship will be the BEST state field championship. If anyone is interested and has a free day(s), there will be a work party at the field range on May 4th. The plan of the day is to place target stands on the range and secure. On Friday May 10th, the butts will be placed on the stands and final measuring will take place and proper signs, numbers, etc will be posted, along with direction markers so it should be as busy as a bee. On Saturday (11th) morning, the target faces will be put into place. So, if anyone has any free time during any or all of these three time periods, let me know. The more people, the less work, the more practice available. There will be no practicing until the work is done. No one plays while others work. Three of us spent the entire Saturday laying out and semi-marking the course. Excess brush and overhanging branches will be cleared out this week. Ground stands will be made specifically for low targets. So, it should be a fun time and we had just as much fun working and looking forward to more days out in the woods. Both of the huge 10x20 tents will be put up on May 10th so if there are any campers out there, you shouldn't even need to pitch a tent, but bring one anyway. The 10x20 tents come complete with side flaps so if that isn't enough room for you, there is plenty of ground to pitch a tent. Only one of these will be available for camping because the other one will be at target 12. One word of caution, there will be wild animals roaming around. Even though the dangerous ones will be penned in another part of the area, there will still be some roaming around, so exercise extreme caution if wandering around at night. Some of the night noises might be a little eerie but it may be memorable. So, camp safely!
