NEW BUSINESS:

 

COMMITTEE REPORT:

Wa-Xo-Be had 35 archers at the Indoor States.  The only complaint  was the archers do not want to shoot for two days.

 

At our May meeting we will vote on the type of rounds the SFAA-NJ would like to shoot at both the Indoor  and Outdoor  Sectionals for 2003.

 

 

The following are the results of the NFAA vote at the agenda meeting:

 

Item submitted by Pa. at  present  50% of the registration fee is to be refunded to no shows.  The motion asks to delete the 50% refunds to no shots.  Item defeated  by the NFAA.

 

Item submitted by Texas:  At the National Indoor Tournament if a style has less than twenty  (20)  participants,  beginning  with the next  NFAA Indoor Tournament and at all future NFAA National Tournaments, that the style be discontinued following that tournament.  Item defeated by NFAA.

 

Item submitted by Southwest Section:  Freestyle Bowhunter.  Eliminate this entire section. Anyone wishing to compete  with  sights and release may compete  in Freestyle.  Freestyle Limited  Bowhunter.  Eliminate this entire section.  Anyone wishing to compete with sights and fingers may compete in Freestyle Limited.  Item defeated by the NFAA.

 

Item submitted by Mid Atlantic Councilman:  Change the official Field round from  28 targets to 20 targets.  Three arrows maximum  at  each target.  Using existing target faces.  Scored 10, 8, 5.  Perfect  score of  600.  Yardage to be eliminated,  80 yard walk up, 45 yard walk up, 15 yard and 35 foot walk up.  X’s to be counted as tie breakers only.  At fan shots, where two faces are presented, shoot  two arrows in one face and one arrow in the other.  You choose.    Item defeated by NFAA.

 

 

 

 

Item  submitted by Pro Division:  The National  Outdoor tournament winners are chosen for  their  shooting  accuracy.  The Animal Round should reflect that accuracy by placing a target  X-ring into the scoring area of  the animal target.  This X-ring would have a one point value and  correspond  with the X-ring  size on the field  target  shot at the same distance.  Item defeated by the NFAA.

 

President Reimer noted that the SFAA secretary is retiring at the end of the year.  The SFAA will be looking for a new Secty.  BCR’s take this back to your Clubs.

 

 

GOOD  N  WELFARE:  none

 

 

There being no further business, a motion was made Wa-Xo-Be to adjourn the meeting at  8:45 pm, second by Black Knight and carried.

 

 

Respectfully submitted
