Hello everyone,

   Things have been pretty swamped for me so I’ve been lax in keeping you updated, sorry.

   First off I had to push the meeting to May 16th, a Saturday, at 9:00 AM at the old Issak Walton trap clubhouse just west of Christiansen Field in Fremont. We will have donuts for the first meeting until we see what attendance is then we’ll decide on breakfast. There is an old archery range, so we can shoot after the meeting. I’ve been told that the targets aren’t the best so if you have a favorite portable target be sure to bring it.

   One of the things that will be discussed will be the location of the Rendezvous. If you read the e-mails I sent you would notice that in discussions with both camps Calvin Crest and River Crest we could not come to a mutually beneficial agreement. Calvin Crest just told us that they were just not going to let us have our event there and River Crest wanted too much money to make the rendezvous feasible. We will continue our relationship with the Fremont Parks and Rec. and the Fremont YMCA by continuing the rondy at Hormel Park and Camp Christian. I don’t know how long this arrangement will work but we have to go with we can afford for now.

   The events coming up that I know of are the ITBS rendezvous Memorial Day weekend held in Ames IA. T.H.E. archery club rendezvous in Topeka KS held the first weekend in June. The Compton rendezvous held in Berrien Springs MI June 19th, 20th, and 21st.

   Hope everyone has had a great turkey season; I know my wife is pretty tired of my hunting trips this spring! I’d like to wish all the mothers in the NTA a very happy Mothers day, take your mom out shooting, or better yet buy her a new bow!

   That’s all for this month.
   Keep your stick bent!
