6/17/2018 JOAD Half Field Tournament Summary

The tournament was held on a beautiful Father’s Day, Sunday. We had a small turnout of 18 shooters, probably due to the Father’s Day date. The small numbers did not detract from an excellent experience the shooters had. There were several really close scores in some of the divisions, which made for some exciting shooting. More importantly, these young archers continue to be exposed to field archery. It’s such a different experience from standing on the shooting line in a target event. You get to know your shooting partners over the course of the day. You’ll test your archery by varying your shooting positions, body angles and footing. It really helps to make you a better archer.

A big thanks to the volunteers who helped to make the event a fun day for our shooters. Jim McDonough helped to set up and take down the course, as well as spray for mosquitoes. Master smoker, Dave Schaefer, turned out the tastiest pulled pork you’ll taste this side of the Mason Dixon Line. Our kitchen crew, Gwen Sanborn, Amy McDonough, Ali McDonough, Kim Schaefer and Kathleen Badon, are a well oiled machine that executed a tasty lunch flawlessly. Master of Ceremonies Ali McDonough, presented awards. At the end of the event, all of these ladies and our JOAD kids cleaned the clubhouse and left it cleaner than they found it.
