8/10/2010: A thought about the upcoming TSAA State Target Championship... The TSAA awards the "Archer Of The Year Award to both seniors and junior, based on results from the Field, Indoor, and Target events. This year the outcome is in play, and several collegians are also looking pretty competitive....So who is going to get one of THESE?

8/10/2010: Lots of good publicity abounds, egad!

http://www.archery.org/index.asp?m_id=2724&cnt_id=4966 is a neat article on the Traffords

Tom Barker sent me this list of a few good people's exposure in the media!: Some local and not so local archers in our JOAD club.

8/8/2010: From member Rick Walker: I have a new American Whitetail center for sale.
I picked it up at the 2004 JOAD Nationals where I bought several target mats. I have this center left and it looks like it has been hit with maybe 2 dozen arrows. Fits the big 122cm target mats. I am asking $50.00

Email the webmaster and I'll forward the note to Rick.

6/29/2010: A heads-up note from Tom Barker brought this to my attention: Wow - 6 members of the Texas State Archery Association are on the US National Field Team headed to the world championships in Hungary!

In addition Heather and Hunter Barthels participated in the National Field event with Heather winning her division (not a division shooting in Hungary however) and Hunter coming in 5th ( I think.)

6/5/2010: Guy Krueger, Resident Athlete Admin. and Assistant Coach/USA Archery, has send out a notice about a tournament that has some interesting prizes! ie, actual money prizes for olympic style target archery. October 8-10, 2010, at the Easton Archery Range in the Olympic Training Center, Chula Vista, CA. There are two documents he sent: Info and then, the Schedule. This is being sponsored by the RoadRunner Club at ARCO

5/14/2010: Photos (and move clips - some 1.35 gigs, with over 600 photos) from the USIAC (U.S. Intercollegiate Archery Championship) have now been posted. A reminder to all of the collegians attending the event - you can download to your computer (ie, save to your computer) ANY photo of yourself - just use the download icon that is in the lower-right hand corner of the page holding the photo you want. The resolution will support up to about an 8x 10 with no problems. Print yourself or your favorite archer - show the world, collegiate archers shooting archery!

5/13/2010: Tom Barker wants to make sure all are aware that the JOAD tournament has room for kids of all divisions, including: we will have a Yeoman division at a distance to be determined by the skill set of the kid playing, most likely 20 or 15 meters.

4/26/010: The Doinker Texas Shootout is done. The scores were tabulated using automated methods provided through US Archery, and can be found on the link to the company that makes the system, Ianeso. The practice day was beautiful weather, and then the qualifier was held under the usual east Texas weather conditions - though the rains somehow slipped past during the night, leaving only a few pretzeled popup tents as evidence. Brady Ellison shot 8 points off the world record during the 72-arrow Olympic Qualifying round, setting two new US records in the process despite winds that were at times very difficult, particularly on the higher womens' side of the field.
