Falcon Archers, Dick Zorn 3D 2015 Shoot

PSAA SW Region Fundraiser

Falcon Archers in Canonsburg, PA is hosting a Fundraiser Shoot on December 14, 2014, for the PSAA SW Region. This is a one day-one line shoot to help raise funds for the treasury of the SW Region to help send delegates to the State Board Meeting in Mechanicsburg, PA two times per year. Gas and toll expenses are ever increasing making it difficult to meet the expenses of the trip. We are hoping this shoot will help bolster our funds for our delegates' trips. Even if you are not a member of the PSAA, or are in a different region, please consider attending this shoot. Contact Greg McBride at 724-344-6099 for info and reservations.

Falcon Archers is located at 47 Papp Road in Canonsburg, PA. That address in a GPS will get you right to the driveway. Directions can also be found on our website: https://falconarchers.hypermart.net/

Thanks,

Darrell Shipley

Tenpoint Practice

I had so much fun shooting my Tenpoint on Sunday that I had to shoot again on Monday. Shooting at 50 yards, I'm a little high and to the left but my bolts are touching for a very tight group!

Tenpoint Crossbow 20 Yards

Archery season is almost here and I wanted to get in a little shooting practice and try out my GoPro camera. I can't wait for this season to start!

Sighting in my Tenpoint

I took advantage of the rare 60 degree temperatures this weekend to sight in my Tenpoint Maverick crossbow at Falcon Archers. 

It is driving tacks at 40 yards!  I am hoping to get out hunting one more day and get a shot at a mature deer in the second season.

Remember it's 20 clicks for one inch at 20 yards when sighting in your crossbow scope!

Shooting 2'' High

I went to the archery range yesterday evening and was surprised to see my crossbow was shooting 2'' high all of a sudden...

It was shooting great the last time out so maybe it was me.  I know I will be back at Falcon Archers and get it dialed in before doe season this September.

I was on a little bit of a slope so I was fighting gravity and my brace that holds the crossbow was a little unsteady... that may have added to the issue.

My brother is going to make me a small ramp from three 2 x 4's glued together.  This mini ramp will be 12'' long and allow me to drive one wheelchair tire up as needed, to level out while hunting in a ground blind this year.

something like this

Being level makes a huge difference when you have no trunk control, gravity sucks!

PFATA Outdoor State Championsh​ip - August 26, 2012

I wanted to send out this information to let everyone know that the PA Field and Target Archers (PFATA) Outdoor State Tournament will be held at Falcon Archers in Canonsburg, PA on August 26, 2012.  That’s only two weeks away folks.


For those of you not familiar with the organization, PFATA is the state affiliate of the National Field Archery Association (NFAA).  Each year PFATA conducts an Indoor and Outdoor State Tournament to meet our obligations as an affiliate organization of the NFAA. In past years, in accordance with NFAA rules, only PFATA and NFAA (or NAA/USAA) members were allowed to shoot in these tournaments.  But thanks to some hard work and efforts by our PFATA President/NFAA State Director, John Pawlowski, this rule was changed at the 2012 NFAA Board of Directors meeting in Las Vegas. 

As of June 1, 2012, anyone can participate in the Tournaments.  The only restriction is that if you are not a member, you can only participate and not compete for awards, titles or records.The purpose in allowing “Guest Participants” is to give the non-member a taste of what the NFAA/PFATA Tournament games are like, and hopefully, entice some of you to join the NFAA/PFATA.  NFAA/PFATA memberships will be available at the Tournament.  You can join at the Tournament and compete for the awards.  Or you can just participate for the experience.


The format of the Tournament is 14 Field Faces, 14 HunterFaces and 14 Animal Faces.  Registration starts at 9:00 AM and a shotgun start will ensue at 10:00 AM.  The registration fee is $20.00 for adult shooters and $10.00 for youth (17 years and younger).  Scores will be tabulated and awards presented at the conclusion of the Tournament.  Following the awards presentation, the Annual PFATA Members Meeting will be held. All members and potential members are encouraged to attend.


 The range will be open for practice on Saturday August 25, from 5:00 PM until it’s too dark to shoot.  PFATAand NFAA (or NAA/USAA) members planning to shoot Sunday’s Tournament may practice free of charge.  Any non-member may use the range for practice for the standard range fee.  This fee is $2.00 for Falcon Club members and$4.00 for non-Falcon members.


More information on NFAA can be found on the Web at www.fieldarchery.com.  PFATA can be found on the Web at www.pfata.net. More information about Falcon Archers can be found on the Web at http://falconarchers.hypermart.net.


If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  I hope to see many of you that I haven’t seen for a while out at the shoot.


Thanks,
