Welcome New
Members!
Whether you consider
yourself a bow hunter,
target shooter, or a traditional shooter, the club is
a great place to hone
your skills. In the last few
weeks we have had a 50
target 3-D trail shoot, an
OBH shoot and the
Greater Oregon Safari.
In August, we look forward to the upcoming
Last Chance 3D Trail
Shoot and the 3rd Leg of
the King of the Valley
Triple Crown. Please
see page 2 for more details.
Greetings fellow members
and welcome to the return
of the Cascadian Bowmen
newsletter. My name is
Scott Anstine, and I have
recently volunteered to put
together the monthly newsletter.
As members you deserve
to know what is going on
with your club so you can
be involved with this sport
we all enjoy so much. My
goal is to put out a newsletter each month that covers
current and future events.
All members are welcome
to submit news, short stories, and photos that are
related to archery or the
club. There will also be a
classified section for those

with archery
related items for
sale.
In order to save
time and
money, the
newsletter will
be sent out via
e-mail. I only
have e-mail
addresses for
about half of
our membership. So, if you

Safari Raffle
The raffle at the Safari was pretty popular. There were
both some adult bows and kids bows among other great
prizes. Some lucky dog won the Bowtech Guardian I had
my eye on. Not everyone checked their tickets as we
were left with a nice Relex bow no one claimed.
Special congrats to Shailynn Pierce. She wanted to win
the Reflex kid’s bow and bought herself some raffle tickets
and ended up winning it. Way to go!
Shailynn’s cousin, Spirit, won some artwork in the raffle,
but ended up with a new Whisper Creek bow, when a pro
shooter offered to trade prizes. Spirit was thrilled about
getting a bow of her own. I did not get the name of the pro
but she deserves a thumbs up for her generosity.

Bear Alert
There has been a bear on the range recently. It dug into a couple of cedar bales close to the pond.
In most cases bears give people a wide berth so there isn’t much to be concerned about. However, being aware of your
surroundings and making noise as you walk the trails will keep both you and bears from surprising each other.
I think a trail cam was set up to try and get a photo. No news yet.
Upcoming Event!
The Last Chance 50 3-D Trail Shoot and 3rd leg of the King of the Valley
Triple Crown is coming up on August 2nd & 3rd. This shoot is a great way
to start getting ready for bow season if you haven’t had a chance to get to
one of the previous shoots.

A $2 discount is offered to NFAA or OBH members who present their
cards.

Registration is from 7:30am—noon on Saturday, and from 7:30am—
11:00am on Sunday.

Food will be available in the Cascadian Kitchen (closes at 2pm)
Special thanks to Sunshine Anstine for her fantastic help with the design of the newsletter.

Kitchen Update
The kitchen was painted over the last work party which
has completed the entire paint job for the inside of the
club. I have several people to thank. First to Ben for
installing the double sink and second to Jack Pierce for
replacing the broken faucet. Then the biggest thanks to
my regular volunteer, my daughter Brittni. Since we
had OBH and the Safari back to back I need to thank
everyone else who stepped up to help during one
or both shoots including Shelby Dilworth, Jackie
Pierce and her niece Spirit, Darlene Cockrum, Gladys
& Penny Bearden and Ruth Payne.
I think we all worked great as a team which helped contribute to the success in the kitchen over both of these
shoots. The Safari is the biggest shoot of the year for
the club and even with the registration being down from
last year, the kitchen did significantly better as well as
on the OBH shoot the weekend before.
By Martha Curl
Overall, we heard several compliments in regards to the
kitchen, which we appreciate. Unfortunately, some were
upset over the steak dinner. It is very difficult to read the
minds of the shooters on who is going to eat and who is
not. That is one reason why we ask for preregistration. Last year we ordered the same amount of
steaks and had 30 left over and so many potatoes that
we made hashbrowns the next morning. This year, there
was not enough potatoes for everyone but we did accomodate with another salad. The corn on the cob was just
a bonus and the bread was left over from the dinner on
Friday evening so I understand there was not enough
and I apologize. Consider pre-registration for the Safari
next year to help out the kitchen.
Thanks to everyone who helps support the kitchen!
