4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 27,1986 A guide to fine dining and entertainment. Archery Is Growing in Popularity by Rob Savage What would Tonto, sidekick to the Lone Ranger, Ranger, have done in today's society society with its forced retirement retirement at age 65. He probably would have joined the Archery Club, where it seems there's no age limit for those who enjoy the bow and arrow. Frank Crowle, the president president of the club, said membership membership ranges in all ages from 75 on down. He said his 70-year-old father shoots, along with his wife and his eight-year-old son, Frank. In fact, his son is more competitive than he is, hav ing won several trophies to Mr. Crowle's one. But competition is only one reason to join the club. Mr. Crowle said fellowship and the enjoyment of the bow and arrow are also good reasons. And while many of the members are hunters, it isn't a requirement. "Not everybody that belongs belongs to our club hunts," Mr. Crowle said. "You don't have to be a hunter to shoot." On the other hand, it doesn't hurt if you're a hunter. "We have some good hunters who shoot as well," COME TO THE... IN 0R0N0 Thurs., Fri., Sat., Sun.

Club members shoot every Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at an archery course east of Bowmanville, off of County Road 42. During During the winter, shooting continues at the Bowmanville Bowmanville Senior Public School. The summer archery sessions sessions work very well for the group because they don't have to pay for the land they use. A local sheep farmer lets the club use 30 acres of his land which is just bush. "There's not many people like him around," Mr. Crowle said. There's no sheep on the land and the only condition put on the club is no hunting. hunting. That doesn't bother them, though, because they wouldn't hunt anyways. "You can't hunt and target shoot at the same time," Mr. Crowle said. "They don't mix. It wouldn't be safe." The hunting is saved for the tournaments which are hosted in different towns throughout Ontario. During the tournament, the targets are animals such as deer and rabbit, and the shooting distance is between 10 yards and 45 yards. . Unlike the shooting stakes at a field course, the distances are unmarked. "You have to be guessing all the time," Mr. Crowle said. And the hotshots who learn to estimate the distances over time don't do any better better because the stakes are occasionally moved. The tournaments run from March to October, although although Mr. Crowle said members in his club won't attend the ones that are farther away unless they think they have a good chance of winning.

"Most people are in for the fun of it," Mr. Crowle said. "We get to the tournaments tournaments and have a good time." And while most of the tournaments are held in good weather, it's not a prerequisite prerequisite for all the events. York County hosts the "Frozen "Frozen Finger Shoot" in March and April sees the "Mud Shoot" in Hamilton. The club has been going for five years and its 80 members come from all around Oshawa, Mr. Crowle said. About 20 members are from Bowmanville, and the most distant member lives in Mississauga. Mr. Crowle says archery is more popular in the United States. "They're always just sort of a little bit ahead of us down there," he said. For example, he said the hunting hunting tournaments first began in the states. But the sport is gaining popularity here, especially among women and youngsters youngsters who might not have considered archery in the past. Part of the difference these days is the use of the Compound Bow, since you don't have to be strong to be able to use it. The bow was invented in the '60s and has cables which are attached to pulleys pulleys at the two ends of the bow. The cables help bring the two ends down when you pull on the bow. It's not nearly as difficult to pull this type of bow back for the arrow, making it more accessible to a wider variety of people. Mr. Crowle said his 70- year-old father only started in archery last year after attending attending one of the meetings. Those who take up archery, archery, however, should note that the bows aren't cheap.' A low-priced bow ranges from $175 to $200. Aji medium-priced bow is $250 to $300. After that, people can choose to pay as much as $1000 for a bow. Membership in the club is a little less costly. Mr. Crowle said a single family member can join for $40. A family can register for $50, and seniors and juniors get in for $20. New members are also expected to pay a $15 initiation initiation fee which goes towards the existing facilities like the targets and the group's clubhouse. Mr. Crowle said no dances or similar events have been organized for the group yet, although it's been talked about. Instead, his main role as president is to keep order. "I keep the other guys from arguing about everything. Everybody sort of has ideas about how things are done." r flnitUfUuj you (jijjti a*uâ Qte&twufl...
