Not a member, but interested in archery? Please know that Fort Lauderdale Archers does not offer lessons, provide equipment (even on a rental basis) or allow individuals to come out and shoot on a daily, weekly, monthly rate. Our club is for individuals who already have their own equipment and are looking to join on a yearly basis. However, if you are interested in archery and need some guidance, go to Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World and take the elevator to the second floor. There, you will be able to rent and shoot different bows and determine whether or not you want to commit to the sport. If so, come join us at Fort Lauderdale Archers and participate in leagues, club shoots, or simply access the club 24/7 on your own time.

(Open To All Members)
Do you have questions, concerns or constructive input for our Board? Ever wonder how funds are being spent or how decisions involving the club are made? Members may not realize that monthly Board meetings are open for their participation. We welcome your attendance the first Wednesday night of each month at 7:00 p.m.

Once again the NFAA has completed its inspection and designated Fort Lauderdale Archers a 5-Star archery club, allotting 349 points, 49 points ABOVE the 300 point requirement!

Please remember to use the field courses as roving courses, moving from one target to the next until the course is complete. If you remain on one target for an extended period of time, you will eventually cause unnecessary damage to individual target butts. The flint range is provided for continued practice use.

We would like to extend a very special "Thank You" to the following club members who have gone so far above and beyond this past year in their tremendous generosity of donations, whether through materials, funds or their time.

Some of the greatest archery talents gathered in Yankton, SD last month for a nine day World Outdoor Archery Festival hosted for the first time by both the NFAA and USA Archery. Our very own David (Doc) Brandfass gave an amazing performance by placing 2nd in the USAA FIELD NATIONALS, Master Male Olympic Recurve division and 2nd place in the NFAA OUTDOOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, Senior Male Freestyle Ltd. Recurve/Longbow division. Congratulations Doc!

Does anyone remember this old Fort Lauderdale Archers sign? When taking down the old club sign to have a new one made this was found. Doc believes it was the Club Sign from the property at Executive Airport . . . and it was old at that time! It has been at our club since 1985.

Variety certainly is the spice of life. So members, please bring your favorite covered dish when attending State and Club shoots. Anything is welcome, from salads and appetizers to meats, side dishes or even desserts!

Members, please remember... The definition of a guest is as follows: A prospective member/person who has never been a member in the past that is interested in archery who attends/uses the facilities accompanied by a current member one and one time only. Due to insurance regulations, all guests and members must sign in. In an effort to better enforce membership, proof of membership ID must be visible at all times (on bow cases/quivers is suggested).

If you are the first one to arrive on club property, please close the lock on the front gate, as it will be hard to lock the gate if someone else decides to steal the open lock.

Just a friendly reminder for all members... Don't be afraid to pick up trash, remove and discard old targets or even empty the trash cans now and then. A little goes a long way!
