For the past several years our Troop has ran the consession stand for the Farmland Conservation Club at there Spring & Fall Traditional Bow Shoots. Its been a good fund raiser for our boys and given them some good experiance and service to the many shooters who come out. I can’t thank enough the many vendors and guys from the Club who spend the time to mentor and teach our young men. The vendors are always especially generous to our guys and always willing to help them learn about this awesome sport. This time at this Fall Shoot we were privilaged to have Roy B & Steve W take us around the Big game course and show six of our youth and two adults how the course is shot and scored and they gave all of us some really good pointers to imporove our shooting skills. One of our boys Brandon Burton (15) was a natural with the bow. Brandon had only shot a few times with his friend and fellow scout Garrett Oliphant (15) over the past few weeks. Since Brandon was new to the sport he used Garretts Bow & Arrows. Brandon and Garrett went throught the 40 target Big Game course and scored there shots and Brandon won the Youth Division. What a proud moment for all of us. Great job Brandon and thanks Garrett for being so generous with your Bow.
I also wnat to give a big Thank you to leaders Keith Heckman, Dylan Oliphant & Frank Turner for there help and Guidance. A big thanks to the parents who came out to help and/or drove your kids to and from the event and especially thank you to the boys for making and serving lots of breakfast, lunch and dinner items to hungary bow enthusiasts. The Troop thanks you all for the approximate $300 we made for upcoming Troop campouts.
