Special Thanks on behalf of all of us at NELAA to the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Deptmnt for the use of their grounds & facility at the Ouachita Parish Rifle Range! They have been good to us helping us support the outdoor sports for the past several years! Our Championship Shoot was set up on their 120 acre archery park. They offer a great mix of open field shots & in the woods, clean grounds & a huge facility! Def a great place to come whether you're coming to shoot an archery tournament or to go just to practice. They have memberships for both the archery park and the shooting range.

1) Dan Lord, Lance Sims, Cookie Rhodes, & Clint Farrar for working the shoot & getting everyone grouped out to get em out on the course. Christian, Kirsten Lord, & Kyle Gates for helping me out at the registration desk to get everyone signed in & organized.
2) Cookie Rhodes & his guys for always helping me with whatever I need throughout the year & helping us get great grounds & an awesome facility each year!
3) Jason Daniel for helping each year with whatever needs to be done & helping me with ideas for our raffle tables.
4) Patrick & Lathan Shivers at TP Outdoors for both your help with helping me pick out items for our raffle & again to Patrick for always making sure we always get the best possible deal!

12) Thanks to all 4 of our clubs too, for bringing targets & setting up each one to give us a challenging course.
I am proud & honored to be part of the NELAA organization, we are not just a 3D Archery organization, we are a group that allows family, friends, and strangers to come together with a common interest. Ultimately we have all become family and just like all families we gain new members. If I could encourage each of you to look to your local club, volunteer helping out occasionally, even if it's just one time. It's a lot of work for the same one or two people running the clubs setting up, working, and taking down targets. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to another year & what 2016 holds for us! Thank you all for another great 3D Archery Season!! ~Kim Lord
