We will be having a small work party, this Sunday, 29-Aug'21 starting at 8:30AM, to clean up the 3D Archery course in preparation for a shoot we will be hosting on September 5th.
Work will include weed whacking and grooming the 3D course, and cleaning up the archery range.
Recommended attire includes outdoor work boots and gloves, and eye and ear protection.
The club has a few weed whackers, but if you have a reliable working one to bring that would be helpful.
