Ahamo Bow Raffle
Dorothy Cubrich donated a bow to the club, which we will be raffling off at our May 23rd 3D shoot. Thank you Dorothy for your generous donation. Club members can pick up Raffle tickets from Ed Rabarich, and return them to him when they are sold. The raffle is for a Bear Compound First Strike XL bow. Ed brought it to our last club meeting: it’s a sharp looking bow with a real pretty camo color.

Ahamo Champions
Some of our club members have done well in recent tournaments. At the Grand Island Silver Dollar Tournament; Bill Rhoades won the Freestyle division, Bill Arledge won the Senior Freestyle division, and Kit Secord took second in that same division. Also, Bill Arledge won the Senior division at the Midwest Sectionals - winning in a shootoff for first place.
Robbie Valeika Shoots 60x 300
Robbie shot a 60x 300 round at the Iowa Indoor State Championship. This was the first time a 60x indoor round has been shot at this tournament. In fact, very few archers in the country can say they shot a 60x 300 in competition - way to go Robbie.
Congratulations go out to Robbie, and our other club members for doing so well. If anyone has the results of any other tournament - please pass them on to me so I can put them in the newsletter.

The Draw Length Formula
Bill Lewis found the following for the newsletter; Most of it is from the January-February edition of Archery, The voice of Field Archery, NFAA, IFAA and Bowhunting. Thank you Bill for providing this:
1. Stand with your back against a wall. 2. Stretch your arms at shoulder height with your palms out. 3. Measure from the tip of the middle finger on one hand to the tip of the middle finger on the other hand (not to the tips of your fingernails). 4. Use the following measurement to find your draw length. Note: for every additional inch of “wingspan” add 1/2 inch AMO and visa versa if it is less than the following chart. This is not an anchor point measurement. The chart will accommodate 95% of the archery population. 65 inches = 24 1/2 inches AMO Draw 66 25 67 25 1/2 68 26 69 26 1/2 70 27 71 27 1/2 72 28 73 28 1/2 74 29 74 29 1/2 75 20 76 30 1/2 77 31
