To all my fello archers. This sounds like a lot of fun. If we show in garb, it could get very interesting. 
I am forwarding all the info that I have on this. I know its short notice. But this is what we live for....

May God have mercy on us for our enemies will have none.

Mrs. Fillpot,

I was contacted about two months ago by the coach for the British Royal Marine Archery Team to see if our club would be interested in hosting a friendly competition while he and his group were in town this April. I've been working with the base since then to try to get the event approved and as of today we've been given the go-ahead to start advertising for the event!

The Brits will be in town two weeks from now and we will hold the shoot on Sunday April 22nd from 1:00-3:00 in the afternoon. Their shooters will be using recurves and longbows, and as a result we have decided to make this a "Trad Only" event. I'd appreciate it if you could forward the following blurb to your archers in case anyone might be interested. Thanks for the help and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Chris Driscoll
President
Lejeune Archery Club


The Lejeune Archery Club is proud to announce that we will hold our First Annual Trad Gathering on April 22, 2012! This event will be open to all recurve and longbow shooters from the surrounding area and registration will run from 1:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon.

We will be playing host to a contingency from the British Royal Marine Archery Team that day, and as a result the course will offer a mix of Olympic style archery and North American 3D that will present a fun challenge for you and your family. We will shoot a modified 18 meter FITA field round followed by a ten target 3D course in the woods of Camp Lejeune. 

There will be an open and barebow class to accommodate all styles of shooting, and awards will be given out to the top finisher in each field in addition to the archer with the highest combined score from each course. Fun rounds are always encouraged and we will have a "Bust-A-Skeet" and "Long Shot" novelty shoot to keep things interesting when you are done shooting the courses.

Our range is located on Parachute Tower Road aboard Camp Lejeune (N 34.676876, -77.338815) and a map of the range can be found at our website: http://www.mccslejeune.com/archery/index.html. All non DOD personnel will need to stop at the Visitors Center on Holcomb Blvd with a current Driver's License, Registration, and Insurance to receive a pass for the day. You can contact us at 972-369-9692 if you have any questions or concerns, thank for looking and I hope to see you there.
