- Discussion
about how
to register folks. Jeanette suggested using a registration form just
like Emory or Archer's for Christ. Jeanette will draft a copy and
send to Steve for approval. Jeanette will also have S3DA
registration sheets. S3DA members will have to pay an additional $15
to join. That covers them with insurance from S3DA. Steve will copy
extra membership forms and insurance forms. Jeanette will send a
copy of the members to date to Steve, since new members will not have
to pay and those already registered will have to pay. Josh supplied
clipboard for CCBA paperwork. Jeanette asked if others could bring
old clip boards.
- Jeanette
brought up discussion about S3DA insurance. The cost for
starting a club $50. Jeanette had a discussion with Steve Milewski
by phone about insurance. Steve Milewski felt that the additional
$125. Annual insurance was a bargain to cover any issues with kids.
Steve Seals asked if ASA insurance would cover. Jeanette explained
that those were the rules for the club. Steve Milewski will cut a
check for $175.to establish the Collin County S3DA club sponsored by
Collin County Bowhunters. Jeanette will build a facebook page for
it.
- Safety with
open carry laws – Charles Alexander
- Charles
wondering
how open carry laws will affect shoots. At working weekend, a new
member had a pistol mounted on his belt, semi-covered with jacket.
- Steve
suggested that open carry shouldn't affect anything. If we prohibited
firearms, it would hurt attendance, especially from "the good
ole' boys" type. Wayne asked if ASA had rules on that and
wondered what other clubs do. Jeanette did not know, but would look
up. Josh agreed that we would get lots of flack if we prohibited it.
Randy made a motion that we let it ride. Josh seconded. All voted
in favor. Motion passed.
- Steve
mentioned Easton has a bow set up package for youth for $60. S3DA had a
matching grant, but the club had to up in the funds and
prices were expensive. Steve suggested it was something to think
about to pick up one or two and raffle them off.
- Thanks to Josh
for use of his bow shop for this meeting due to
darkness and cold weather.
