1 MAY D PRACTICE RANGE NEW LOCATION The practice range is back up. Jake and I set it up on the top of the hill in the woods. If you drive past the pavilion and around the corner you can enter the range by walking up the hill. The animals are on both sides of the road. Please shoot no more than 2 arrows per person at each target. You can walk thru as many times as you would like but please limit it to 2 shots per trip thru.

Thank you in advance for all of those that step up to promote archery and Cowtown Bowmen. Without our continued efforts in educating young people about archery and the outdoor our sport lives on.

4 BELOW IS AN FROM COWTOWN MEMBER DICK TITTERINGTON, CONCERNING COWTOWN S HELP AT THE POPE & YOUNG BANQUET ON APRIL 9 TH -13 TH, ANOTHER GREAT JOB COWTOWN VOLUNTEERS!!! Chuck, Just got back from the Pope & Young Biennium Convention,what a great event, as many members may know it was here in Dallas and we "Cowtown Bowmen" volunteered to man the NASP, National Archery in Schools Program shoot they had Friday afternoon. I was working security in the display area through out the week, and didn't happen to meet any fellow members? But do not know many. Bottom line is during the Saturday night awards banquet Roger Atwood, President, made a special point to acknowledge The "Cowtown Bowmen, again don't know if any others attended, and thank them for their participation in the NASP event. I also wanted to have the opportunity to pass along a membership application and brochure I scanned for the members not knowing the "Clubs" current relationship, ties etc. I also did not know if we as a local club are involved and to what degree in NASP as I had not seen anything on the site and am a new member. Regardless I am passing this along and would be happy to help any Cowtown members become a member of Pope & Young, I wish the copy turned out better I would like them to utilize me as a "reference" in joining as we have a membership drive ongoing, if they care to go to and download a membership application, such as one in the attachment and list my name and membership #L0015. Thank You! Dick Titterington

Please all questions that you would like published to the above newsletter account and we will do our best to get them in our next monthly newsletter. Question: During a 3D shoot, how many arrows do I shoot at each target? Answer: Typically, 3D shoots are 30 targets and the shooter fires one arrow at each target. There are exceptions like some of the traditional shoots we host, they are allowed a certain number of mulligans [do overs] in which the archer is allowed to shoot another arrow and take the second score, better or worse.
