We received some thank you notes from other organizations, which you can view HERE and HERE. Here is Mike Clark's letter to us:

Hello Folks,

Here are a couple of letters that I wanted to share with all the
supporting members of the Mission Trail Bowhunters Association. Without
your continuing support , donations like the ones address in these
letters would not be possible.

As the President of MTBA, I personally thank all of you folks for
helping support CBH/SAA and The California Archery Foundation in their
endless struggle in conjunction with the California Department of Fish
and Game to preserve bowhunting in California and The California
Archery Foundation in the recruitment and support of new archers.

Please share these letters with your club members.

Thanks,

Mike Clark
President
MTBA Region 56

Some recent pictures of BHU members at the range can be found HERE
Remember to stop on by the shed at the end of Tuesday Night Shoots to see what targets still need to be picked up! This also gives you the opportunity to study where that elusive 10 ring is. So at the next shoot you'll be sure to hit it!

Don't forget starting on the second leg of our Tuesday Night Shoots which runs from July 7th through August 25th, the entrance fee will be $ 6.00/shoot. Avoid dealing with searching for those singles every week when paying and pay for the whole 2nd leg up front! Plus you'll get through the line quicker and out to the shoot! Good luck to everyone on finishing up the first leg. There's still time left to make a come from behind finish!

We had a pretty successful Hunt Tuneup Shoot on Sunday. Our thanks to all that helped, especially those who did the setup and teardown. We would appreciate more volunteers in the weekly and monthly shoot teardowns so it isn't such a burden on a few people. Also, we are looking for a backup cook for the monthly shoots. If you are interested, please send us an e-mail to info@bhuarchers.org, or contact one of the board members.

We would like to extend a special thanks again to Chris Castillo and Mike Dickerson for their long and stellar service to the club with shoot setups and takedowns. We really appreciate what they do for the club.

The Black Mountain Bowmen are holding their monthly club shoot, a 900 round. It's on June 14 from 9 to 12. You shoot 5 ends (6 arrows per end) at 60 yards, then at 50 yards, then at 40 yards, for a total of 90 arrows. NFAA/CBH rules apply. It's $12/couple or $7/archer. Registration starts at 8:30 but you can begin practice at 8. Call (408) 227-7587 in advance to allow proper planning and setup for the shoot. It's open to all archers and all divisions and styles.

Your board in action. This was the first board meeting of the newly elected, expanded board.

• We're exploring a new logo for the club.
• We're doing the Wounded Warrior Shoot again for charity. The flyer can be found above.
• We're looking into improving the cooking area at the range.
• We will be providing umbrella shading for the new retaining wall area, which now has picnic tables.
• We will be improving the training area. Remember that we are not allowed to apply sprays in the park.
• We will continue using patches for awards (thanks to Tommy for all his work on them) and may add other award kinds.
• We formed a committee to explorer the long term vision for the club: how many members we want to have and can support, usage of resources such as parking and target sites, and so on. If you have any ideas or opinions, let one of the board members know.
• We discussed and planned several range improvements and maintenance needs.
• We are placing an order for more hay bales.
• We are hoping to add an additional "paper" shoot soon. Look for details here on the web site and on posters at the range.
• We are nearing completion of a new, animated, running pig target.
• We are working on providing ADA access to the range.
• We are working on improving the "new user experience" with a letter, issuance of membership cards, giving out the brochure, getting them introduced to other members, and so on.
• The club is supporting a JOAD/FITA group. Details will be made available as they are ready.
• We're running a little behind on revenue, so we voted to restore the lunch fee to $6.
• We're purchasing maintenance items for the training program.

• For the Tuesday League shoots, please remember to fill out your first and last name, and the class of equipment you are using. We aren't clairvoyant. You should also be checking your posted scores each week via the League Shoot Scores link on the left.
• Starting with Leg 2 of the League Shoot, we're going back to charing $6 per shoot.
• Starting with the Hunt Tune-up Shoot, lunch fees are going back up to $6.
• A reminder that sodas, coffee and donuts are not free. Please pay the fee in the bucket if you eat any of these items.
