Greetings all, first time poster here!
I have participated in other discussion forums, but as we all know, each one is a bit different from the other in terms of etiquette and such. Please bear with me for the time being.
My apologies if this question has been raised, but I am curious about the DATE of the annual Abbotsford INDOOR shoot this year.
The notice I got from HUB Sports indicated that it was happening on Jan 14-15, yet this site:
http://www.archeryguy.com/calendar.html

says it's on Feb 19th for ONE DAY only. Anybody know for sure?

Tx.

Thanks Huntersdad.
I am a "newbie" to the sport, although my son has been into it for about a year now. His first shoot was the Abbotsford meet this year in January.
We've gone to a few more since.


This is him on the left, with two of his "comrades-in-arms":

This was one of his wayward arrows!

This is him trying his hand at the SPEED SHOOT.

It was a great time and we are looking forward to it again!
This year, Santa was good to me and brought me my own compound bow (I can't shoot traditional) so I hope to be a participatant instead of just an observer!

It is a Jennings BLACK LIGHTNING model.
"Santa" picked it up on consignment from an Archery shop in Abb.

Similar to this one:

It is a 45#, dual-pulley. I have issues with my elbows and shoulders that won't allow me to withstand the strains of a Traditional bow.

:grin: Hey bsa , I recommend you check out the Abbotsford Indoor 3-d shoot before investing in a bow. It`s a chance to check out everything out there . Good luck.

Which brings me back to my original question:

Does anybody have the CORRECT date of the Abbotsford shoot for 2006?

here is the address for the BCAA site - http://www.archeryassociation.bc.ca/ (http://www.archeryassociation.bc.ca/) - you can confirm the shoot dates there! Good luck with your shooting and maybe you and your son can come over to some shoots at the Cowichan Bowmen Archery Club in Duncan -- we have a 2 day shoot in June!
