B. C.s Largest Indoor 3-D Abbotsford Jan 14-15th

[Blk Arrow]

It is time to dust off the gear and work out the rust at the 18th Annual B.C.'s Largest Indoor 3-D shot in Abbotsford. Hard to believe we have being doing this one for 18 years. Anyway, the shoot is at the Agri-Fair arena at Abbotsford Exhibition Park. 32470 Haida Drive , Abbotsford, BC, for your GPS if required. I expect to see a lot of familiar faces and hopefully some new archers as well.

Yup, some great Prizes. I got drawn for a brand new bow (Bowtech, I believe) 2 years ago. Lucky for some other guy who was there, I had not stuck around as "I never win draws(Prizes, LEHS, etc.)"

SO IF YOU ARE THERE, STAY UNTIL THE LAST DRAW HAS RUN!!!! I was rather P.O'd that I'd left after shooting my rounds when I heard about it...

[Riverbc]

happened again today. Fellow won a brand new PSE Bowmadness, but wasn't there to claim it....so another name was drawn.
Was a great shoot..saw some old faces and made new friends. Lots of fun.

thats to bad , some people from out of town have to leave early to drive home
isnt that why you leave names and numbers and phone numbers on the tickets ??

Nope. The personal info is just so they can sign you up for newsletters.... Just kidding, they don't do that. I can see where they're coming from, they want people to stick around for the awards and draw prizes. It's just a kick in the gonads when you find out your name was drawn later on...

Guys, before this turns into a bashing of the event organizers OR on "how it should be done", remember that no one gets paid for this, and that sponsors might want to have pictures of their prizes being given.

Also, today was the very proof of the integrity of the club because the guy who won the bow (but wasn't there to claim his prize) is an active member of the club and the family is always volunteering at the club. The dad was there, and the difficult decision to re-draw the bow was made. It was the only right decision.

Finally, the logistic nightmare to contact the winners, and organise the distribution of prizes is probably another reason why they prefer this system. However, this year, if you won on the Saturday, you had until the next day to claim your prize.

I intend to be more and more involved in the organisation of events from the Sagittarius Archery Club. And like all others, I will not be paid for any of this. Decision on how we will run the events will be made by those involved in the process. If you feel strongly about certain issues, feel free to join the group. We welcome people who like to pay it forward.

There was a good turnout in spite of the weather. Thanks to all the volunteers and great participants the rounds went pretty quick with minimal wait time to get to the line. I managed to get in 6 rounds over the 2 days with friends as well as some new people. Thanks to all the volunteers and sponsors for a great shoot.

Absolutely right there Stephane (I can't do that funny "e") In no way was my previous post a criticism of the way they run it. I always had fun at the event. And I know the rules state you have to be there to win, and I wasn't. My bad, I'll not make that mistake again. Hope you all had fun though.

:-DWell done Abby F&G , a well organized and run event . This event is really the start of the NEW 3-D year and what a great start .
I over did it with five rounds on Sat and ended up dragging my feet a little .
