Important Volunteer Work Party This Sunday

(This is not a scheduled monthly work party, a truck load of material for making target bales is being delivered)

When:  This Sunday, February 22, 10am-1pm.

Where:  Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range.

Bring:  Sturdy shoes, long sleeves and pants, work gloves, water.

Work Focus:  Unload new bale material from delivery truck, load onto quad trailers, stack in bale making area. 

Please R.S.V.P  by email (sandiegoarchers@yahoo.com) if you can help out this Sunday.

Coffee and bagels will be provided.

San Diego Archers Volunteers make every single bale in each target butt at the Balboa and Morley Field Archery Ranges.

It all starts with bales of the raw material (shredded wood fibers, not straw).  Volunteers load the raw material into a special compressor, compress to ~500 psi, band, then stack them until needed. As the bales in target butts break down, especially the center bales, volunteers move new bales to the butt, unstack the bales, remove broken down bales, replace and restack new bales, and finally, move the broken down bales back to bale making area for recycling/disposal.

 Thank you,

San Diego Archers

Archery would not exist in Balboa Park without the hard work of volunteers who love archery.  If you love the sport of archery and enjoy shooting at the Balboa or Morley Ranges, please come join us at a future work party to help maintain these incredible archery ranges. Non-members are welcome, too! 

February Work Party Wrap Up

A HUGE THANK YOU to the volunteers who worked so hard on Sunday, Feb 8: Graham, Doug, Peter, Dana, Pat, Scott and Patty nearly finished the realignment of the right field at the Morley range.  It was an enormous job ferrying bales from the Balboa Range, unstacking all the target butts, moving the bases and restacking the butts in their new locations. Thank you also to Duane and John, who finished making the last four target bases on Saturday.  Dave held his ground at the Balboa Range, making and installing new yardage markers at the targets which were closed during the Cabrillo Bridge renovation. Thank you, Dave! 

January Work Party Wrap Up

A giant THANK YOU to the volunteers at the January 10 work party: Rob, Fred, Pat, Mike, Peter and Patty. The bale making area was cleaned up, the road from the practice area to target #1 was leveled out, stairs at target #24 rebuilt, palm fronds stacked and shooting lanes cleared.  

And a special thank you to the Bale Making Monsters: Graham, Carlos, Craig, Chad, Ed, Doug, and Dorian.  And, of course, Duane and Dave, who are constantly working on things behind the scenes.
