Flint Bowmen

A big congratulations to Scott for a 3rd place finish in the Barebow Recurve Class at the Lancaster Archery Classic!

 

Congratulations to all of our Lancaster Archery Classic shooters with a number of our members making the cuts early in the tournament with great shooting!

 

A big thanks and congratulations to our new Life Members –

Mark and Linda Beaudry!

Mark and Linda have been an awesome influence and have led by example at Flint Bowmen for members and kids for over 25 years!

For the past 15+ years Mark has been the Line Captain for our Saturday Kid’s Leagues and Linda has been a part of the constantly busy kitchen team keeping those kids in pretzels, chips, donuts, and all sorts of other goodies.

A few statistics –

• Mark blew his whistle over 30,000 times during his tenure as Line Captain!

• Mark stood on his feet on the line for over 700 hours!

• Linda buttered over 2,502,335 pretzels!  (Ok, that statistic might be made up…)

Flint Bowmen offers basic instruction for the beginning archer throughout the year at a minimal cost. We stress safety at all times when using a bow and arrow. Instructors teach the absolute basics such as how to hold the bow, how to load the arrows, and how to shoot properly. We emphasize the importance of proper stance and repetitiveness that is needed to shoot well and have fun with archery. These lessons are great for families, kids, ladies, or men who want to learn how to shoot a bow for the first time or anyone with very, very little experience and the desire to learn how to shoot a bow correctly. These lessons are not for someone who has been shooting for years and wants to get ready for the Olympics!

Monthly lesson dates beginning in April:

April 12 Wednesday 6 PM
May 18, Thursday 6 PM
June 14, Wednesday 6 PM
July 19, Wednesday 6 PM
August 17, Thursday 6 PM
September 14, Thursday 6 PM
October 4, Wednesday 6 PM
November 9, Thursday 6 PM
December 13, Wednesday 6 PM

People may attend as many lessons as they feel they need. The cost is $5.00 for nonmember children and $8.00 for nonmember adults. We rent bows for $2.00 for those who need them. These lessons usually last about 1.5 hours to 2 hours, if people want to shoot that long.

Please contact Mike Alexander via email at lealexander@comcast.net or call 810-406-6531 to let him know you will be there, so we can get enough instructors at each class.  (Please do not do this the day of the lessons though.)

We start right at 6:00PM so please come at least 15-20 minutes early to get signed up.  Please do not show up after 6 PM!

Great time this weekend at Flint Bowmen while hosting the Saginaw Valley Archery Association shoot (SVAA).  Thanks to all the great shooters, the helpers, and Jim Grubba for making this weekend a lot of fun and very successful!
