President’s Message Hello Members of Diablo Bowmen,

Morgan Territory Road update. For any of you who have not received or have not read the latest road update:

At their meeting today April 25, members of the Board of Supervisors authorized the Public Works Department to advertise the Morgan Territory Road repair project. Contractors will have four weeks to submit their construction cost bids. Four weeks is the minimum bidding duration to meet the requirements set by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). After bids are opened, the County will be able to expedite the construction contract to the most responsive and cost-effective bidder due to the emergency declaration that was approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 7, 2017. The construction start date will depend upon the contractor’s access to necessary equipment and supplies for this project because resources for this project are in high demand. The start date will also depend on whether the slide has stopped moving and the County has approvals from FEMA in order to receive federal reimbursement. The region and state suffered significant storm damage from this winter’s storms. The County is positioned to begin construction at the end of June, however given that there is a demand for contractors and resources statewide, the project start date may be delayed. We will keep you informed as we get more information on timing. Please note that the road will need to be

900 Shoot

Our first shoot of the year, May 27th was great! Everyone had a good time. The weather was cool and a little windy. We had 16 shooters, including two ladies. High score for the men goes to Keith Toon with an 855. High score for the ladies goes to Prolet Miteva with an 803. We had a surprise Birthday celebration for Mario Daijogo, arranged by his sister in Texas.

Our next 900 shoot is June 24th. Come out and shoot. We require a minimum of 10 to provide lunch, so please RSVP. Check the “Diablo 900 Scorecard” on our webpage to see how many have signed up to shoot and have lunch.

See you on the range.

completely closed during the construction phase, with residents using the temporary access road that is to be constructed first. The County is currently working to obtain the required environmental permits from various state and federal agencies for the repair project.

The Public Works Real Estate Division has successfully reached agreements with all property owners on Leon Drive, and has a verbal commitment from the multiple owners/trusts on the Pacini parcel, and we anticipate signed agreements for that property in the next week. The County has not been waiting for the agreements to be signed in order to begin work on the access route; design and environmental clearance for this temporary access is proceeding simultaneously. Upon completion of these items, we will start improvements for an alternative access in advance of the broader repair project.

My last conversation with the County real estate division mentioned they were having difficulties dealing with the state park gaining access. I have not been contacted, but it looks like they're going to use Leon Drive as the main temporary Access Road. Our membership year is coming to an end, so please make sure to check your work hours. There is a list in the clubhouse hour’s workbook. When you enter your work information in the book please make sure to print your name clearly. It is difficult to credit hours when you can’t read the name. If you think there is a discrepancy in our tracking of your hours please email me ASAP. I have copies of all the sheets.

Due to the two month road closure we will discuss our work hour assessment for this year at the June club meeting.

Outreach Program Happy Summer Diablo Archers!

Summer is here and it is time to get ready for a great outdoor season! Outreach has several lessons and events in the works at the club, so it seems that everyone is ready to get out there and shoot! This Memorial Weekend, we have two scheduled lessons, both on the practice range. We also have three scheduled events in June. I am excited to have so many interested in our range and enjoying the beauty that our members have created there.

With all of the lessons and events that are occurring at the range, I find myself in need of help with our archery equipment and with instruction. I am looking for a member or two who is skilled at arrow repair who would like to earn their hours fletching and repairing arrows. Although I do know how to fletch arrows, I find myself lacking in time to get to it. Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at [email protected]. We also have received some inquiry regarding lessons for the Boy Scouts, but their badge acquisition requires

the class to be taught by a certified boy scout instructor. I was wondering if any of our members have this designation and would like to assist these boys in earning their badge. Please let me know of your interest through email.

I have received some interest in helping with lessons on the range. You can find events on the calendar listed on the Diablo Bowmen website. If you are interested and available for any of the lessons listed, feel free to email me with the event and the best way to contact you and I will get in touch. Thanks to everyone who helps us reach out and support our community!

Lastly, If there is in any interest in Scholastic 3D or a Diablo Youth Club, please let me know. I would love to put something together to help our member’s children continue to develop skills and a love for the sport of archery!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

Range Report Thank You to Dan Wright for running the May work party in my absence. New targets were put out for the club shoot, weed eating was done in several locations, targets were glued up, limbs were trimmed on the Dixon round and a large tree was cleared on targets 54 and 55 on the Cruse round.

We have some beautiful new floor mats with our logo on them in the club house thanks to member Chuck Treen and his employer Alsco, check them out when you are at the range! Thank You Chuck!

It is warming up and rattle snakes are active, be careful when you are out shooting, snakes like to lay right on trails to get warm so keep an eye out. Bug spray applied to your lower extremities will keep ticks at bay. Fire season will be here before you know it so lets be vigilant about fire safety. The only place to smoke is by the photo cabinet on the club house, there is a butt can there with sand in it.

Next work party is on June 3rd, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., lunch and club meeting to follow.

Thank You to everyone that has been working on the range.

Family Fun Day

We held a family fun day on May 20th and had about 40 members and guests come out.

Everyone had the chance to shoot a 14 target 3D course before lunch and while it was cooler. We also had fun shooting at a flying pig, rolling targets on the ground (rabbits), a milk jug shoot off and shooting at a rotating 3D target. Everyone seemed to have a great time, fun was the emphasis for the day!

Mario and Diana ran the cook shack and did a great job as usual. Mario had ALL the fixings for some great burgers and hot dogs. Side dishes were brought by everyone and thoroughly enjoyed. My people's choice award goes to Joe Brown's German potato salad, it was delicious! Thank you to everyone who brought food to share, it was all very tasty. The food was enjoyed on linen table cloths provided by Chuck Treen, thanks Chuck, it was really a nice touch. Thank you to everyone who set up the shoot and to the members that stayed and help pick everything up, clean up went really well because we had a lot of help. Hopefully we will do this again next year and can come up with some new ideas for fun.

3) There is a mandatory check in between the Friday evening before the tournament and 7 am the day of the tournament.

4) You must be at the grandstand at 7 am saturday morning and may not leave the grandstand area unless your number has been called for release in the tournament.

The folks putting on this tournament are working on a 100% volunteer basis, there is no money made, no donations taken for doing this, there are also no manuals on how to run a tournament therefore we are doing our best and please take it easy on us if there is some sort of mistake or misunderstanding,

and if you think something should be done a different way a kind offer of advice would be nice and if its disagreeable, please put on a tournament to your own liking and send us the invite!

happening, thanks are the only payment for all the work.
