Records are highlighted on the results as well. The Sunshine State Games will all being hosted at Gator Bowman. Gator is expanding their target range and now has 24 targets. They also are increasing parking. We have a new Release Editor. Welcome Alvaro Ubeda. Take a look at the new Release! Joe Loureiro has been appointed Executive VP. Jack Cason 1932 - 2022 Remember - if you want target faces, the easiest (and cheapest) way to get them is to let Oliver know what you want the week or two before a State tournament (that Oliver is attending) and he would be happy to pull them and bring them to the tournament. Oliver is attending the State Target, State FITA Field, Florida Senior Games and the Ft Lauderdale Open. Lots of opportunity to get target faces at a great price. Mailing is expensive, however Oliver will mail them if you really need the target faces (of course - you pay the postage). Tim Austin 1938 - 2022.  It is with sadness that I have to let you know that Tim Austin lost his battle with cancer today. Tim died peacefully at 1:30pm in the ICU at North Florida Regional Hospital in Gainesville. As you know he had been fighting Stage IV cancer for two years and had 66 doses of chemo. There will be a small graveside gathering next week. I will not be there. I am in Mirimar with Jake Pettitt running the National Senior Games which Tim would have wanted. He will be missed. Oliver. Florida Archery Association membership totals: 11/28/2019 NFAA

Where are Florida members ----  NFAA is
looking for hunting pictures for the
Archery magazine. If you have
some you would like to share, please
send them to Oliver with text of who
is in the picture, where it was (the
State the animal was shot in <not -
it was alive> we are not looking
for the address of your hunting site)
and what kind of animal if it is not
obvious. I will create a Hunting
Picture page and of course the Release
would want to use the picture as
well. Thanks. Oliver.
Any
FAA member who wishes to forgo receiving a hard copy of
the Release in the mail may do so by sending Tim an
email requesting you be taken off the Release mailing
list.
This needs to be
passed around and acted upon - It is
specifically against NFAA rules to draw above
horizontal... it's also against NAA rules.
The practice of drawing a bow up in the air is unsafe,
and many archers do it due to heavy poundage or simply
out of bad habit. Pushing the bow out with
the bow arm... or better yet, pushing it slightly
downward... can assist in drawing it back.
One arrow loosed high in the air and killing or
damaging property three blocks away can set our sport
back for years... much less ruin the day of the
individual with the bow and the individual harmed by
it!
Is it legal or illegal? What happens when a rule is questioned |
