    New member with a question

    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.

    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?
