NCFAA 2017 Regional Championship Shoot Schedule Released!

The dates and locations for the Northern California Field Archery Association (NCFAA) 2017
Championship shoot schedule were released this week. See attached flyer and preregister on the
Northwoods Bowmen’s website: http://northwoodsbowmensclub.org/2017-ncfaa-regional-shoot-
march-5-2017/. They will not be sending out registration forms - you can signup online for all four
shoots. Please note, due to the
scheduling challenges last year, we have
created two time slots for the combined
State/Regional 900 that SFA hosts. The
NCFAA will soon have a dedicated
website, but in the meantime, like their
page on Facebook to keep up-to-date:
https://www.facebook.com/ncfaa/.

CBH/SAA 2017 Indoor Championships

There’s still time to compete in the CBH/SAA 2017 Indoor Championships
happening in January at an indoor archery range near you. It’s a 450 round - 20
yards - 15 Ends and 3 arrows each end. For more information, or just to see what
other events are happening in California, go to the CBH/SAA website at
www.cbhsaa.net.

Brandi’s Corner - Happy 2017

365 new days. 365 new chances. Countless new arrows to shoot!

I have been told over and over again that each arrow should be shot as if it’s a new arrow, the
only arrow. This is difficult to achieve when your last shot fell apart or you flung an arrow across
the field when you tried to let down. In “One Arrow, One Life: Zen, Archery, Enlightenment”
Kenneth Kushner proposes that “…every arrow should be shot as if it’s the only arrow on Earth;
as though one’s life were counting on it.” Here’s to shooting every arrow this year as if our lives
are counting on it!

Got a fun photo or a cool archery tip? The Arrow will be sent out monthly on the ~15th, with
the deadline for submissions on the 10th. Your contributions will make The Arrow even better! If
you have scores or a fun photo to share, please send it to [email protected]
