Beaver County, PA -Trad archers -New News

David & Brian...replied to each of you.

Ted,

Yep, been to Allegheny Archers and have met Stew & Chris before...great guys and great shop/range.  Still have never gotten over there to shoot though (work & a 2 yr. old daughter and all) but would like to soon.  Of course that may have to wait 'til after bow season as I will be hunting every free moment I get.  I really wanted to take the selfbow class they had last winter but was out of town with work.  If you guys do arrange a meeting with everyone to shoot, please announce it here.  I would certainly like to meet everyone!

Take care!

I think they are startin' up another self bow class shortly.  They also do leagues . . . fun place to hang out.

I live real close so its easy for me, but I hear ya' on the work and daughter front.  I've got 5 and 2 year olds - it makes it tough.  The 5 year old sometimes comes with and launches some arrows down range.

Not to beat a dead horse, but a quick note of thanks to all who replied and offered ideas.

Things have a funny way about them in life. Turns out that 11 days before the movers showed up, I get a call. Yesterday AM, actually, from the corporate head of our downline.

She informed me that the corporate entities decided that they had to restructure, reorganize and were not going to fill the position afterall.

I won't go into any detail here. I did post a prayer thread and am finding ways to "cope" with all this even though I've paid out for a place to live and invested otherwise for this move, etc.

Suffice it here to say that I so appreciate all the replies, offers to join clubs and meet new trad archers! That would have been great! Beaver County is a really super place to live...for an outdoorsman.

At least a bunch of you came outa the woodwork so you can identify each other.     Have a go at it and shoot one for me, willya?  

Thanks for all the replies and kindnesses.

Oh my goodness, that is terrible news.  I am very sorry to hear this DocNock.

I'll keep my ears open for anything else I hear of.  You may find something interesting on the job board at siop.org.  

I'll also look into some of the Exec Assmnt stuff we talked about to see if I can find any work for you there while you are looking.

I feel quite bad for you - they sure put you in a bad position.  That simply stinks.
