5 NEWS of our State Coming in 2015: January 9 th through 11 is ISE show at Cal Expo several area clubs & members will set up and operate a Youth Archery Range, Jim Williams jewilliams88@netzero.net if you would like to assist with donations or instructing future archers. Also 3 of our local archery shops with indoor ranges are hosting the annual CBHSAA Indoor Tournament. (Check my list of January Archery Activities) CBHSAA once again on January 23 rd thru the 25 th, will be holding their annual meeting in Sacramento at the Red Lion Motel across from Arden Mall. This year on Saturday will be a special attraction for Archer/Bowhunters of our area, as Chuck Adams will be putting on a seminar on Saturday afternoon. In addition to the bi-annual Hunting Award presentations for the CBH bowhunters, Chuck will also be the main speaker at the CBH Big Game Awards Banquet that evening. For any who may not be aware Chuck Adams grew up in Chico/Los Molines area and began his bowhunting career with Chico Archers. Chuck is one of a few Bowhunters, who has harvested every Big Game Specie of North America with his bow, many being record book size. If interested in attending this once in a lifetime chance locally, go to: for making your reservations on attending soon. Legislative News: In February, we will start hearing about new proposed laws in California by the Legislature, also that will be the month when any changes in 2015 mammal or furbearer seasons will begin, public hearings of the Fish & Game Commission and Department Proposals. Presently with holidays all is pretty quiet, but am sure 2015 will once again be active with future hunting and/or fishing issues. Do not know who Matt will desire to cover these topics, so for now enjoy shooting your archery equipment. Ed.Joe Jan., 2015, Newsletter Joe Becker, Editor 6049 SAWMILL RD. PARADISE, CA
