Hello Fellow Archers!

There are LOTS of fun and exciting things happening this summer at both of our archery ranges in Balboa Park (& elsewhere, too!) For anyone looking for a great volunteer opportunity, please scroll down for details about the Wounded Warrior Archery Clinic, run by the Wounded Warrior Battalion and hosted by the San Diego Archers on Monday mornings! Other archery events to choose from are a new prep for deer hunting: the Season Opener 3D Round, a long-awaited SWAP MEET, a Royal Archery Tournament, and, of course, the Tuesday League continues, come join the Friday Night Lights at Morley and the monthly Alpine 3D Shoot! Phew! So much to choose from!

Check out the new San Diego Archers Facebook group for SDA members HERE for more information about most of these events!

ONGOING:
Wounded Warrior Battalion Archer Clinics
Mondays, ~10am-noon, (except Federal holidays)
Morley Field Archery Range.

The San Diego Archers supports the Wounded Warrior Battalion Archery Clinic by providing volunteer instructors, maintenance of existing archery equipment, archery range use and, of course, our donation of $4000 from the Flying Pig 3D Fundraiser to buy new equipment & supplies for the program! The Monday morning clinics are always looking for more volunteers to fill in as current volunteers move away or take on new jobs. You don’t need to be a Level II Coach, just be enthusiastic about archery & share that enthusiasm with our Wounded Warriors. This is one of many Health & Wellness clinics offered through the USMC Warrior Athlete Reconditioning Program, held year-round (except Federal holidays) at the Morley Range. You don’t have to commit to every Monday, but if you have a free Monday morning, please join us. It is a very casual, yet incredibly rewarding program, especially when you watch someone who has never held a bow, keep signing up for the clinic, then showing up with their own equipment, then SDA Tournaments, then becoming an SDA family member! We are truly honored to be a part of this program. Contact: info@sandiegoarchers.com for more info.
