Hey CRB members as a range master on the field side this year I have to thank all of you for your
continued support..at the same time I have to thank Kael Johnson I know we here at CRB probably
don't know Kael so let me enlighten everyone for a moment.. Kael Johnson is a sales manager in
Enumclaw he works for NW Safe on 830 Cole st. without his continued donations of cardboard i
would have an Extremely difficult time supplying all of our cardboard needs this year. I think he
and NW Safe deserve a little recognition and a "thank you" so I promised Kael that I would have
published in our Puffs a "thank you" to him and NW Safe for their donations and support... Let me
also say that Kael is a bow hunter and by the looks of his Montana bull he's been practicing ..so if
anyone here is thinking about a safe or just wants to know more about what kinds of safes are
available, archery and CRB would make a good ice breaker... thanx Kael & NW Safe for your
generous donations to Cedar River Bowman….. Clint
Meet your 2014 Board. The little boy in the big boots is…. Dave Ingham. Dave was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He participated in archery for 7 years when he was younger, took 27 years off and has been back for the past 3 years. When asked what his most memorable archery experience, he described a time he was using a fawn bleat attempting to call in a bear. Instead, he called in a calf elk to within an arm’s length! Dave thought a bear would have been nice, however, the little elk was awesome! A little known fact about Dave is that he competed in his first triathlon when he was 45, Ironman Canada. If you are into self-­‐
inflicted pain, he highly recommends this. No surprise, the little red haired girl is Roxanne Chavis. Roxanne was born in Everett, WA and has been participating in archery for the past 10 years. Her most memorable archery experience was celebrating Thanksgiving in elk camp and deep frying the turkey. Yum! A little known fact about Roxanne is that she is an Army veteran, 88m truck driver. How well did you guess? Here are two more to give a shot to.
CRB Banquet 2014
Jim Walker – Boob award 2013
Saturday, March29th, we had our Banquet to
celebrate the successes of 2013. We gathered
at Krain Corner Inn and had a great meal and
great service as always. We were joined by two
of our new club members. Tom Daniels started
out by thanking last year’s board of directors and
introducing this year’s board. He touched on a
couple of improvements the club is working on.
In particular, the rebanding of all the target butts
and the updated website. Scott Chavis
presented the Ray White awards. Based on the
awards, we had a pretty successful hunting
season in 2013. Galen Mauden discussed
several of the other club awards. The highlight of
the awards was the Boob award. This year,
unlike other years, we had 5 stories presented to
choose from. Be sure to ask these members if
you see them the details around each of their
stories. Scott Chavis – Bed attack, Tom Daniels
– Hunting in slippers, Pat Moore – Dry fire, and
Diane Daniels – Trailer crawl. The winning story
was presented by Diane and Tom Daniels with
the award going to Jim Walker. Russ McDonald
(new member) was the winner of the 50/50 raffle.
Winning $47.00. What a way to start in the club!
Thanks to all that showed up. See you and the
rest of the club next year!
Tom and I (Diane Daniels) joined Jim Walker for
the 2013 Elk hunt. Since this was Tom’s and my
first experience hunting elk, Jim has been our
mentor and has taken us “under his wing”. The
first morning out, as we were driving to get to our
spot, Jim was giving then detailed instructions on
what to do and what not to do. Jim said he had
three rules. 1. Do not slam the truck doors. 2.
Talk only in whispers if you need to talk at all. 3.
Cough only if you have to. Got it! Tom and I,
being the good students we are, were being ever
so careful not to make a noise. All three of us
were out of the truck getting prepared when it
sounded like woody woodpecker had shown up
laughing and announcing that a text message
had arrived. It was Jim’s cell phone. We all had
a good laugh and ribbed him about the rules.
The next morning, in almost the same spot,
Woody shows up again with another text
message. Jim apparently forgot the fourth rule,
TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE. For showing
us that even the best can make a mistake, Jim
wins the 2013 Boob Award and gets to display it
prominently in his home this year.
Congratulations Jim!
Range Master
Hello fellow CRB archers. My name is Patrick Seiver and I
was elected as your Range Master for 2014.
I hope you all are coming out to the club to enjoy our flat
range and courses.
We have a lot of opportunies for you to contribute, if you
would like. There are items that don't require a big
investment on your part, all the way up to sweaty, knuckledragging tasks. I will try to get a list out of the tasks around
the club, for whatever your level of interest is.
Our main focus at this time is to check and reband all the
carpet bales. We have started rebanding the four courses
and the flat range. At our last work party, we were able to
get all of B course done. It works best with 4 people, so if
that is something you're interested in, come on out at the
next work party. Check the clubs web page for dates.
We have had a lot of rain out at the range and the ground is
saturated. I want to let everyone know to stay on the roads
when you are driving around the club. If your car or truck
gets off the road, it will tear up the edges and cause more
damage. The worst areas are from the flat range all the way
down to the main parking area. Please be careful and pass
with care.
Remember to always lock the community gate when you
come and go. Always lock the padlock on the club's gate,
even if you're leaving the gate open. If you find your the
last one at the flat range at the end of your day, it's your
responsibility to drive to the main parking area to determine
if you're the last group. If so, lock the club's gate closed
when you depart.
CRB Winter Indoor Archery
