The Nebraska Traditional Archers Association attended the last board meeting to ask if they could use our range and 3D targets for a tournament for traditional archers only. The board discussed their request and may be allowing them to hold their shoot. If we reach an agreement on dates and money; we will be receiving a certain percent of their registration, and have a good chance for picking up some new members.
