CONEJO QUIVER JANUARY 2018 The January General Membership Meeting & club shoot took place per our normal schedule on Sunday January 28, 2018 1 FROM THE EDITOR John Downey Welcome to the January issue of the Quiver. We are a bit late this month “going to press” as everyone was recovering from the holidays. We have all the usual contributors including Kathy Linson, Bonnie Marshall, Curtis Hermann, Kurt Hoberg and yours truly. Curtis Hermann has a nice article on Glenn St Charles and the Pope and Young Club. If you’ve ever wondered about P & Y this may answer some of your questions. We also have a number of photos from the last range work-party and the newly completed kitchen stairs. Things are looking really good on all the ranges. If you haven’t been out in a while, do yourself a favor and drag your lazy bones out and reconnect with the best archery crowd in California. As CVA members we are extremely lucky to have access to three separate archery ranges (28 Target NFAA Field Range, USAA/NFAA Field Range, and Back Canyon 3D). There are very few ranges in the USA that can make that claim. John Downey Editor 2 FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT From the Desk of the President Kurt Hoberg Tournament News CVA California State Indoor Results CVA had a great group of archers travel to Tulare CA this year for the 2018 State Indoor. Jeffery and Aiden DelBosque, Cher Riggs, Ken Downey, Natalie Tietz, Rose and Kurt Hoberg, Miles Gould, Connor Blackwell, and Ben Chen all made the trek. Here are the results: • Rose Hoberg, Female Masters 50 Recurve, Gold • Miles Gould, Male Cadet Compound, Silver • Ken Downey, Male Senior Recurve, Bronze • Cher Riggs, Female Masters 60 Recurve, Gold • Kurt Hoberg, Male Masters 50 Recurve, Silver • Rose and Kurt Hoberg also were awarded the Masters Trilogy for the third year running. The following 2017 Tournaments are scheduled. As always, if anyone has questions about shooting tournaments and participating please reach out to me, we’d love to have more CVA members on the podium. We certainly have the pool of shooting talent to draw from. March 17th and 18th, CORR California Olympic Round and Round Robin https://calarchery.net/events/icalrepeat.detail/2018/03/17/118/-/corr- california-s-olympic-round-round-robin-tournament This shoot is designed to give CA archers match play experience as authnic as possible without being elimitated from shooting. The tournament will provide the 3 opportunity to shoot Olympic Round matches and to have a format that will give even the first eliminated archer the opportunity to participate in Match Play until the end of the tournament. The format will be modeled after national and international Olympic Round match play as closely as possible while achieving the designed purpose. JOAD / Adult Achievement Pin Program Congratulations to this month’s JOAD and Adult Achievement Pin program award earners. Great job and fine shooting! As of the time of writing this article, here are the achievements: • David Jockish – 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th pins, shooting Barebow CVA Range Security As I do every month, I would like to remind all members to close and lock the gate behind you when you enter the range and be sure to secure and lock the gate when you leave. I have weekly reports of members keeping the gate open because ‘I was just leaving’ and hours later they finally leave and secure the range. We have had trespassers walk on the bottom service road right in front of the targets, and have had other individuals think it was a good idea to ride their dirt bikes and off road vehicles on our property. Damage caused incurs unnecessary costs to the club and an open gate obviously creates a safety situation. In addition to this, we have had a great deal of ‘lock attrition’, with locks being broken at a furious pace. I’m not certain what is happening as operating a lock is fairly simple, however we have had to replace our locks this year several times due to damage. Please, don’t force your key, pound 4 on the lock, drop the lock, or do anything that would necessitate a replacement. All club members, please be sure to do your part to secure our range. See you on the range! Your President, Kurt Remember, archery is easy. Shoot a 10, do it again! Ottoman bow, 1719–1720, horn, wood, pigment, Length. 26 3/4 in.

It takes a lot of people power to keep this club operating smoothly. All working members should have received an email from me with a link to the tracking sheet, so please take a moment to check your hours. If you are a working member and did not receive the email, please let me know at [email protected] or 805-791-5102. Thanks to those who spent a total of 326 hours this month helping out at the range. Whether you helped out at The Darkside Archers work party, volunteered at the Saturday Public Session, wrote an article for the quiver, worked on the 3D range or cleaned a lane on the field range; your hours were much needed and much appreciated. A special thank you to Norm Rice and the Darkside Archers for building the steps to the kitchen. Thank you to those who put their hat in the ring for the Publicity Chair position and the recycle position (position is filled). Warmly, Cathy Audrey Hepburn – “Robin and Marian” 7 FRIENDS OF CONEJO VALLEY ARCHERS VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER If you are using Amazon.com for your purchases please remember that it takes only one click to switch over to Amazon Smile to complete your order.

Life is good after the break! Happy New Year to All Can you believe that we are already into the fourth month of our club year! I hope you all have set a New Year’s resolution to shoot more arrows!!! As spring approaches, it is time to set our sights on some upcoming range projects and events. The next Range Beautification Day is Saturday February 3th. This will be a big cleanup day due to all of the wonderful tumbleweeds that need to be addressed all over the range. Make sure to bring your gloves and be ready to rock and roll some big ole tumbleweeds! Of course, there are many other projects to address and there is something for everyone to do regardless of physical strength or time available. Even an hour helps. The next big tournament we will be hosting will be the Pacific Coast Archery Festival on April 14th &15th. This can be an iron-(wo)man tri- event; where you can shoot three full separate tournaments over the two days or you can just shoot one or two of the tournaments. This event has been designed to serve all types of archers and types of bows from FITA to traditional longbows. 10 The 2-day event will have some exciting recent changes and target layouts that will need some prep work. Also work on the kitchen and parking lot areas will need to be done to get everything ready. Please contact Clark Pentico to let him know you would like to volunteer at the event and/or just show up on February 3rd and we will get to work on these areas. Remember there are only 8 months left to get your volunteer hours in and two of those are supposed to be at for a tournament so here’s a chance to get them done! The Pac Coast Traditional Tournament follows on May 6th! More info to come on that one. Speaking of volunteering I also have a couple of short term projects that can be done for volunteer hours. I need someone to build finger tabs for JOAD, a historian, and a carpenter to do some rebuild on the kitchen. Give me a jingle if you’re interested. Bonnie Membership Corner - January 2018 The holidays are over and now most of us don’t have any days off until Memorial Day! As sad as that is, it just goes to show how important having a membership at our club is. It is a place in our lives where we can go for a few hours and have a wonderful time with family, friends or just by ourselves. Remember to always let others know how great your membership is to have and how great it is to have a place like our club to be a part of. 11 I would like to thank all of you who have renewed your membership on time and I hope you are enjoying all of its benefits.
