Archery Editor MIA

 Some of you may have been wondering where I’ve been? My wife asks me the same question at times. So I’ll let you know what’s been going on. For those of you who remember the Sportsmen’s Int. Expo I spent a week getting ready for it, then four days at it. I was not only in the AZOD booth but was pulling double duty in the ABA booth as the region 4 director for that association. I did however find time to shoot in the tournament at the Expo and had a great time. Didn’t shoot to well but I did have fun shooting at those Rhinehart targets.

The following weekend was our first 3-D tournament in Wickenburg   (The Hassyampa Bowhunters Club ) in five years. It was our April Fool’s Day Shoot, I’d like to thank everyone who came and shot. It was two very difficult courses but everyone seemed to like the challenge. Look for the results from that tournament in the archery section.

Preparing for this shoot took longer than I had anticipated. The whole week after the Expo and before the shoot I was setting up targets laying out courses and so forth. Of course the weekend of the shoot I was up to my eyeballs in work. So I thought this week I could catch up on my AZOD duties, Monday I came down with some viral infection, and have been down almost the entire week.

I wish I could tell you that I have been on some exotic hunting trip somewhere but the sad fact is that everyday life has just been getting in the way. Well anyway I’m back now so look for more stories the next few days. We took some time off of our filming schedule but will be resuming this next week so I’ll fill you in on how that is going, and when the videos should be out.
