13) Thanks to all 5 of our clubs too, for bringing targets & setting up each one to give us a challenging course.



I know I say this every year but I am truly 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.  
                                                      "What makes us different?" 
When you first come to our shoots you enter as a stranger but leave the season as part of our family.  Just like all  families we gain new members through out the season and I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of our new shooters & getting to know each of you & your families this year.   
We pray, encourage, & console one another, we are there for one another the way families should be.  Each weekend is like a family get together for me & I could not ask for a better group of people!
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 the shoot, and taking down targets.  Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!  
Thank you all for another great 3D Archery Season, looking forward to another year & what 2018 holds for us!!

Keep an eye on the NELAA website for after season shoots, some of our clubs will be hosting Bowhunter equipment only, Traditional only, and/or Night “Owl” Shoots.  Our fun is not over yet!!  😊 ~Kim Lord
