Midsummer Classic
The shoot is Sunday June 29th. Free to all YBC members including lunch. Non members $20 for the shoot $10 for lunch. IBO scoring, shot gun start, 2 rounds of 20 targets, registration is at 8 am, shoot starts at 9:30am. BBQ lunch 11:30. Medals awarded 3 or more shooters. Contact Mark Pollock at 3D@yorkcountybowmen.com for further information. Mark will be looking for a few volunteers to help out with registration, lunch etc.
I would also point out at this time that we must stay on the trail when shooting 3D. Do not cut through the trees, it is dangerous and against club policies.

Field
We have deployed new markers on the Field course for the IFAA field and hunter rounds. They are the round metal ones. These replace the old standing markers. They are in the middle of the lanes as two archers are to shoot at the same time, standing on either side of the marker.The WA markers remain the same. To learn more about Field Archery or if you have any questions, please let me know at field@yorkcountybowmen.com.
Thank you, Larry Reid Field Director
