-First we will be co-hosting the Javelina Hunt and Outdoor Fair in the Prescott area on Feb 24-26 with AZGFD and Outdoor Experience for All. We already have quite a few participants signed up and the advertising is still to come. If you would like to lend a hand with this event please contact us for more information.
-Second we will be at the AZGFD Outdoor Expo March 31-April 1st. We are working on the details for this event. The last few years we have worked with Desert Christian Archers and ran a short walking archery course with 3-d animals. It is amazing how many people we put thru this course and how many say it was the best activity they participated in. We always need volunteers for this also so once again if you are interested please contact us for information.
-Next is the annual ABA Awards Banquet. It will be held at the Phoenix Mountain Preserve April 14th. If you haven't attended one of these banquets you should try and attend. Our banquet chairman has made some changes and promises to have some great stuff in the raffles and more fun than ever! For those of you who don't know about the awards, you fill out a form on animals you harvested with your bow from the previous year and you receive plaques for your trophy room. The only catch is you have to be a member. Which is easy enough, you either attended the banquet or the Bowhunter Happening last year or signed up. Please check the website in the coming weeks for more information and the downloadable awards application.
- This year's Bowhunter Happening has a tentative date July 20-22 at Morman Lake. If you didn't make last year's put it on the calendar for this year you don't want to miss it. We are expecting a lot of vendors again this year. It looks like the Flagstaff archers will set the courses for us again this year so expect some great course layouts.
