Recently the Texins Archery
Club storage building was burglarized. David Russell told me, "Unfortunately
they cleaned us out, took every bow, arrow, stick and tool we had. Bottom
line here is Texins Archery Club has to replace the club's stolen JOAD
and Intro To Archery equipment, as well as to improve security for what
is purchased."
"Got gear you no longer use
cluttering your closets? Donate it to the Texins Archery Club auction sale
on August 4th. These items will be combined with vendor donations from
Bass Pro, Academy, Truglo, Sportsman's Warehouse, Sports Authority, etc.
Come out and shop for that needed gadget you are missing. All incredible
values. Everything from hunting stands to camo pants! The event will start
at 9am and continue until 4pm. at the range. Open to the public. Please
talk it up among members and hunting buddies. Maybe there are some little
hunters out there that need to get outfitted for next season" ... Clint Montgomery
Texins Archery Club
is a Non profit organization "The goal is to not only
replace the stolen equipment but also to enhance it by adding some compounds
along with the other necessary items, finger tabs, arm guards, quivers
etc. Funds to be used for replacing archery equipment used in our weekly
JOAD (junior olympic archery development), Intro to Archery Classes, enhanced
security and a new steel cargo container for storage. We have a commitment
to introducing the young and the old to the great age long hobby of archery.
Any remaining amount will be used to continue enhancing the club and the
range, new 3-d targets for example to enhance our ability to host 3-D tournements."
